IPOH: The Perak Water Board expects the water supply issue affecting residents in Manjung and Perak Tengah districts to be resolved by Monday (April 3) morning.
Its general manager Datuk Ishak Abd Rahman said it depended on good weather, adding that they were in the process of connecting new pipes and this would be completed by 4am to 6 am, with residents receiving water supply in stages.
"Some parts of the district will receive less water as pressure is still low, but we can supply around 12 to 15 million gallons within a day, and obviously water provided through lorry tankers will not be enough as there are over 70,000 accounts affected, but we will do our best,” he told Bernama today .
The affected areas include Ayer Tawar, Sitiawan, Seri Manjung, Lekir to Kayan, Pangkor and Lumut in Manjung district. In Perak Tengah, the areas affected are Seberang Perak, Changkat Lada, Kampung Gajah, Bukit Chawi, Simpang Ranggam and Hujung Rintis.
