SEREMBAN: Negri Sembilan will consider imposing water rationing in two weeks, if the dry spell continues.
Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the incessant hot weather had resulted in the decline of the water level at various dams in the state.
“Several dams in the state will be able to last between 20 to 35 days, before the water level decreases to critical levels. We are observing the condition and water rationing is likely to be imposed if there is no rainfall in the next two weeks or if the water level hits the critical level,” said Mohamad.
“We have no intention to cause trouble to the public. But this move is needed to ensure that the state’s water supply can last longer,” he said at a press conference after chairing the EXCO meeting at Wisma Negeri today.
He said all mosques in the state were required to perform ‘Solat Hajat’ this Friday, to end the long drought.
He also urged the public to use water wisely to avoid water wastage.
