The National Water Supply and Drainage Board has appointed a special operations committee to monitor and manage the shortage of drinking water, as reservoirs continue to deplete under prevailing dry weather conditions.
The committee has been appointed by the Chairman and the General Manager of the National Water Supply and Drainage Board, comprising relevant subject officers.
According to the Water Board, the purpose of this committee is to monitor and control water production and distribution.
This committee will continuously monitor issues related to water sources, water production capacities, and supply patterns. It will also review the situation daily and weekly within identified time frames.
Accordingly, it is expected to submit management reports on the prevailing conditions and ensure effective coordination among relevant sectors to secure an adequate water supply.
Through these measures, steps will be taken to prevent prolonged daily water supply interruptions in the future, and to manage, control, and distribute water in a way that enables all consumers to meet their daily needs. This committee will remain operational until depleted water sources return to normal levels, the Water Board said in a statement.
Furthermore, in order to prevent severe inconvenience to consumers due to the limited water production capacity caused by the ongoing dry weather, and to maintain services at least at a minimum optimal level, the cooperation of consumers is essential at this time. We kindly request that water be used only for essential purposes, and such support will be greatly appreciated, it added. (Newswire)
