KOTA BARU – A total of 32,018 account holders in four districts in Kelantan are expected to experience water supply disruption from today until January 30, according to Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB).

AKSB, in a statement today, said the districts involved are Machang with 16,000 accounts, Pasir Puteh (9,539), Kota Baru Selatan (5,979) and Kota Baru Timur (500).

It said the disruption was caused by leakage at the raw water supply pipeline in Kampung Pulai Chondong, Machang, yesterday and AKSB had to temporarily shut down the operation of Medan Telaga Sungai Bagan, involving the Merbau Chondong water treatment plant.

“AKSB is in careful planning to replace the water pipeline on a scheduled basis and we expect the work will take until January 30 to complete.

“However, it depends on the situation on the site and AKSB will update the status regularly,” the statement said.

Customers can call the hotline at 15777 or get in touch via WhatsApp at 019-5755777 or download the MyAKSB application for further enquiries. – Bernama, January 22, 2021
