Floods force shutdown of Bukit Pinang water treatment plant


ALOR SETAR: The Bukit Pinang water treatment plant phase 1 was forced to cease operations early Thursday (Sept 19) after the water level at its intake reached a critical stage due to continuous rain over the past few days.

In a statement, Syarikat Air Darul Aman (Sada) said the suspension of operations at the plant at 1am resulted in unscheduled water supply disruption in the Kota Setar district and parts of the Kubang Pasu district, affecting approximately 35,000 consumer accounts.
