Water supply disruptions affecting tens of thousands of households in Machang are expected to end following emergency repairs to the distribution network. The work targets around 34,000 consumer accounts across Machang, the southern sector of Kota Bharu, and parts of nearby Pasir Putih.
Authorities have prioritized the pipe repair works to restore normal water flow to the affected areas. Residents and businesses have faced intermittent supply as maintenance crews addressed the infrastructure issue on the main distribution line.
The repair operation represents a significant undertaking given the scale of the affected network. Water authorities have worked to complete the work within the shortest feasible timeframe to minimize disruption to consumers relying on the supply.
Once repairs are finalized, water pressure is expected to normalize across the service area. Authorities have advised residents to check their water quality once supply resumes and to report any further issues to the relevant water authority.
