On Sunday, November 9, Xinhua reported that electrical interruptions on Nov. 7 and early Nov. 8 caused two water treatment plants in Tutong to shut down, disrupting water supply in parts of Brunei‑Muara and Tutong districts.
The Public Works Department, under the Ministry of Development, issued a press release noting the outages and announcing an investigation into the exact cause while it works to restore electricity supply and normal plant operations.
Residents are advised to use water wisely as inspection and recovery work continues, and blue water tanks have been placed at several locations to assist affected households.
