Papar water treatment plant shut down again over high salinity

KOTA KINABALU: Last week's heavy rain brought relief to the drought-hit Papar district, but it proved to be short-lived after a water treatment plant was forced to suspend operations again.

Sabah Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya (pic) said the state Water Department was forced to shut down the Limbahau plant on Thursday (April 11) owing to high salinity levels in the water.
