Water rationing in Taiping for two weeks, despite increase in treatment plant output
IPOH: Although the water level at the Headwood treatment plant in Taiping has increased slightly, a rationing exercise will be carried out for two weeks starting Thursday.
Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said the plant's output has been increased to 31 million litres daily from 26 million.
"The Perak Water Board (LAP) still needs to ensure that water supply to the people will not be disrupted," he told journalists after presenting cheques to three Tamil schools at the state secretariat building on Wednesday.
Dr Zambry, however, noted that the water level at the Air Kuning Dam has started to decrease due to the dry weather.
"The water level is dropping as water continues to evaporate, compounded by the lack of rainfall in the area.
"We pray that it will rain soon to increase the water level there," he said.
LAP general manager Datuk Mohd Yusof Mohd Isa added that the dam's maximum water level was 43m, and its current level was at 38.18m. Its critical level is 34m.
Dr Zambry also stressed that LAP was the best water management agency in the country with the lowest amount of non-revenue water (NRW).
"The NRW is at 36% and we are confident to reduce it further to 29%.
"Water that was lost not only came from burst pipes, but also due to theft," he said.
"However, this is not an excuse and we will always ensure that the NRW will be minimised annually," he added.
