Taipei and Taoyuan will be interrupted on Nov. 30 to allow for maintenance work at a water treatment plant, Taiwan Water Corporation (TWC) announced Wednesday.
At 4 a.m. on Nov. 30, the water supply will be cut off and will not be restored until 4 p.m., as work will be in progress at the Bansin Water Treatment Plant in New Taipei’s Sanxia District, TWC said in a press release.
The maintenance work involves high-voltage and ultra-high voltage equipment at the water plant, which is why the water supply will have to be shut off, TWC said.
Consumers are advised to store water ahead of time and to turn off electric water pumps to avoid damage or fires during the 12-hour period, TWC said, adding that about 150,000 households will be affected. [FULL STORY]
