YCDC searches for more water as households run dry
Only 60 percent of Yangon’s water needs are being met, officials say. The Yangon City Development Committee is hunting for fresh sources, even as work proceeds to fix leaky pipes that lose half the water they are supposed to carry.
The search for water security is part of the city’s master plan, the deputy head of the city’s water department U Thet Lwin said in a recent interview.
