IT was a tough start to another 14 days of the movement control order (MCO) for some 1,000 residents as they faced water supply disruptions due to a faulty water tank at Taman Utara flat in Batu Uban, Penang.

Since morning, residents were seen queuing up outside their flat to fill their pails and buckets with water provided using a pipe by the Batu Maung Voluntary Fire Squad channelled through a nearby fire hydrant’s pipe chamber.
