Malaysia: Water supply disruptions ongoing in parts of Port Dickson Oct. 21

Event

Water supply disruptions are ongoing in parts of Port Dickson as of Oct. 21. The Negeri Sembilan Water Company attributed the disruptions to a decline in treated water production after heavy rain yesterday evening. It remains unclear when the normal water supply will resume.

Some business disruptions are possible, especially for companies that rely heavily on municipal water to maintain operations.

Advice

Stock up on drinking water in advance. Confirm alternative water supplies for business operations. Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Minimize nonessential water use throughout the outage. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
