SEREMBAN: Negri Sembilan will not impose water rationing for now as the water level at rivers and dams there are adequate despite the hot spell.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said the meeting with Syarikat Air Negri Sembilan (Sains), Meteorological Department and other relevant agencies revealed that the dams and rivers could endure longer than the expected 30 days.
“In Negri Sembilan, we do not only take raw water from the dams to process into treated water. We also get the water from the rivers.
“Although the water level at the dams had dropped, with some almost reaching the critical level, the rivers levels are still stable.
“Sungai Terip and Gemencheh dams recorded lower water levels as water treatment plants directly get raw water from these two dams,” he told reporters after chairing the weekly state executive councillors meeting here, today.
Mohamad, however, advised members of the public to use water prudently as no one knew for sure when the hot spell would end.
It was earlier reported that Mohamad said the state government would consider imposing water rationing in two weeks, if the dry spell continues.
