MIRI: Timber companies are being sought by the Public Works Department (PWD) to help transport fresh water to remote regions facing a water shortage due to the El Nino hot spell.

These companies have big logging trucks that can deliver large amounts of fresh water from treatment plants, said state PWD director Zuraimi Sabki.
