Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB), the company responsible for supplying clean water in the state, has constructed five tube wells to cater for the needs of about 125,000 residents in the district as well as part of Tumpat district.
AKSB Technical Development Department head, Ir Wan Mohd Zamri Wan Ismail said the construction of the tube wells was an immediate measure by the department to overcome the problem of water supply disruptions during the festive season, when many people return to Kelantan for the celebration.
He said this was a short-term measure to overcome the problems faced by the Kelar Water Treatment Plant, here which used water resources from Sungai Kelantan which failed to operate fully following the prolonged drought season since early this year.
Wan Mohd Zamri said two of the tube wells had already started operations while the other three were under construction and expected to be ready before Aidilfitri.-- BERNAMA
