As a result, water distribution across the Kathmandu Valley has been temporarily suspended from Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The rainfall has caused the water at the intake to become extremely turbid. Once the water quality improves<\/a> the treatment process will resume and water supply will be restored according to the pre-determined distribution schedule,” Chand said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KUKL said the suspension is temporary and normal supply will resume after the water quality at the Melamchi intake returns to a level suitable for treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
