Floods: Almost all water treatment plants are back online, says Pahang water utility company

KUANTAN: Nearly all water treatment plants in the state have resumed full operations after the floods but several areas are still expected to experience low water pressure.

Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP) chief executive officer Saiful Zaini Mohd Bokhari said this was due to simultaneous high water usage to clean homes and premises affected by the floods.

"This is also due to landslides in some areas that have caused pipe alignments to be cut off or broken.

"However, almost all water treatment plants are fully operational to supply water to consumers and it is still in the process of recovery.

"This recovery process will take time and will improve gradually," he said on Sunday (Dec 26).

Saiful Zaini advised users to be prudent in their water usage in the meantime.

During the floods, as many as 13 water treatment plants in Pahang were shut down due to rising river water levels and power outages.
