Dry taps, empty pockets days after Johor river contamination

JOHOR BARU: Tens of thousands of people are still without water despite two out of the four water treatment plants resuming operations after being shut down due to pollution caused by sandmining along Sg Johor since Friday.

The dry taps, which started on Oct 31, have affected more than a million consumers across four districts, namely Johor Baru, Kota Tinggi, Kulai and Pontian.
