Heavy Rain Collapsed Sungai Linggi Bank, Causing Water Supply Disruption

A significant water supply disruption affecting over 45,000 SAINS account holders in Port Dickson and Seremban was caused by heavy rainfall. The downpour led to a collapsed bank at Sungai Linggi, which in turn disrupted the operations of the Sungai Linggi water treatment plant. This incident impacted a wide geographical area across both districts.
Impacted Areas and User Numbers

The disruption affected a substantial number of consumers, with over 45,000 SAINS account holders experiencing a lack of water supply. The affected zones encompassed a large part of Port Dickson and Seremban. Specific locations identified include the PD Golf & Country Club, PD Perdana, and Desa Lagun Resort.
Specific Locations Affected in Rantau

The entire Rantau area was also severely impacted by the water disruption. This includes several specific villages and localities within Rantau, such as Ulu Lalang, Kampung Solok, Kampung Sega Ulu, Sega Hilir, and Jalan Kuala Sawah. The extent of the outage highlights the widespread nature of the problem.
Response and Restoration Efforts

Syarikat Air Negeri Sembilan Sdn Bhd (SAINS) has deployed resources to mitigate the situation. A total of 11 treated water tankers and 44 static tanks were dispatched to the affected areas. Water supply is being provided until the Irrigation and Drainage Department completes repairs to the collapsed bank at Sungai Linggi. SAINS has also established water collection points for both industrial and domestic users. In addition, 17 tankers from other water operators, including Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Air Melaka Berhad, and Ranhill SAJ Sdn Bhd, have been mobilised to assist in water distribution.
