Two water treatment plants to resume operations soon to boost water supply in Papar


PAPAR: Two water treatment plants, the Emergency Water Supply Scheme (EWSS) and Jenama LRA in Kampung Limbahau are set to resume operations next month aimed at increasing the water supply in Papar, which has been affected by drought.

Papar MP Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the treatment plants had to stop operating on Feb 17 because the raw water source had reached the 'water intake' points, resulting in very high salinity levels.
