But, he said before rationing was carried out, available tube wells in the state would be opened to ensure water supply is adequate especially for domestic consumers. “We already have a lot of tube wells in Kedah. We will be opening all those tube wells and also drill new tube wells as well, in order to make sure we have enough water supply,” he said when met by reporters here today.
Commenting on the problem of loss of water supply in Langkawi due to damaged pipelines on the sea bed, Xavier said his ministry would repair the pipes and plant them at a depth of three metres below the sea bed.
