The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) is ad­vis­ing the pub­lic that sev­er­al sur­face wa­ter treat­ment fa­cil­i­ties in the North­east Re­gion are cur­rent­ly out of op­er­a­tion due to heavy overnight rain­fall.

The au­thor­i­ty al­so added that "All re­sources fo­cused on re­turn­ing fa­cil­i­ties to full ser­vice. "

Ac­cord­ing to the re­lease, the fa­cil­i­ties were af­fect­ed by river­ine flood­ing, high tur­bid­i­ty, clogged in­take screens, and sil­ta­tion, which led to the dis­rup­tion of nor­mal op­er­a­tions at sev­er­al fa­cil­i­ties.
