Flood has caused the prolonged shutdown of 17 water treatment plants (LRA) in seven Pahang districts, said Pengurusan Air Pahang Bhd (Paip) in a statement today.
It added that while 26 LRA were initially impacted, nine had started operating as of 11am today.
“The LRA that are still shutdown are in Raub, Lipis, Maran, Bentong, Bera, Jerantut, and Temerloh.
"It follows a rise in river levels and power cut," the statement said.
Paip has sent water tankers to the affected locations, including temporary flood relief centres, to distribute potable water as well.
Paip has also received extra water tankers from the National Water Services Commission (Span) and from operators in Johor, Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Kedah, and Penang.
