Too many unplanned water cuts

PETALING JAYA: It is bad enough when households and businesses have to suffer dry spells from time to time, but what is worse is that more often than not, interruptions in the water supply happen with little or no warning.

According to statistics from the National Water Services Commission (SPAN), unplanned water cuts in Peninsular Malaysia last year far outnumbered scheduled water cuts.Several states reported thousands of cases of unplanned water cuts.
