Water carting trucks are on standby to service the affected areas during the temporary disruption period. 

WAF urges customers to conserve and always store sufficient amounts of water to last them for at least two to three days in their homes at all times.  

WAF also encourages customers to invest in storage containers or water tanks connected to the water system for storage and backup supply during any unplanned disruption that may arise due to emergency works or natural disasters.
