Kuala Belait - Residents in Belait District have been without water' supply since Monday night. The Belait Public Works Department said the 24-hour disruption was due to faulty electrical power cable in Badas that affected the transformer.

The damage was also confirmed by the Belait Electrical Department.

An official from the Belait Public Works Department told the Borneo Bulletin that they are working closely with the Electrical Department in resolving the problem and repair works were scheduled to be completed by 5pm yesterday.

The water supply was expected to resume last night. The water supply had affected all areas in the district except Mukim Labi, which has its own water treatment plant.

Some residents were seen collecting water at the storage tank in Kuala Belait, RTB reported.

Four water tankers were brought in from the capital. A number of government agencies, including Brunei Shell Petroleum, lent a helping hand in the distribution of water. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
