“Water rationing depends on the severity of water supply disruption and, if need be, we will channel water to the affected areas. Nonetheless, we will be monitoring the situation closely.“I am asking all consumers to use water prudently,” he said after attending the Kedah Regional Development Authority bi-monthly assembly here today.
