KUANTAN – The floods have caused the shutdown of 17 water treatment plants (LRA) in seven Pahang districts, said Pengurusan Air Pahang Bhd (Paip) in a statement today.
It added that 26 LRA have been impacted, but nine started operating at 11am today.
“The LRA that are still shut down are in Raub, Lipis, Maran, Bentong, Bera, Jerantut and Temerloh.
“This follows a rise in river levels and power cuts,” the statement said.
Paip has sent a water tanker to affected locations – and most importantly, to temporary flood relief centres – while also distributing potable water.
Paip has also received extra water tankers through the National Water Services Commission and operators in Johor, Negri Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Kedah and Penang. – Bernama, January 5, 2021
