Floods: Pantai, Lakai water treatment plants in Negri Sembilan still shut due to structural damage

SEREMBAN: The Pantai water treatment plant in Seremban and Lakai water treatment plant in Jelebu are still unable to operate due to structural damage caused by the recent floods.

Syarikat Air Negri Sembilan Sdn Bhd (SAINS) corporate communications head Norzita Ismail said the Pantai water treatment plant could not operate as the damage had yet to be repaired.

"This was due to the collapsed river bank and uprooted trees that have blocked the route and disrupted the electricity supply.

"The Klawang water treatment plant is operating at only 80% capacity now as the damage has to be repaired while 18 more plants in this state are operating as usual.

"SAINS is making efforts to repair all damage at water treatment plants and intakes so as to minimise the water supply disruption,” she added.

Norzita also said that SAINS was assisting affected consumers by supplying clean water through static tanks placed at various affected locations apart from the cooperation of a number of agencies such as the Fire and Rescue Department, Syarikat Air Johor and Syarikat Air Melaka Bhd by sending out their water tankers.
