FEITSUI RESERVOIR ALMOST FULL, WATER TURBID|暴雨原水濁度增 全台近28萬戶仍停水

Currently there are still more than 270,000 households without water supply across Taiwan. Due to heavy rainfall and off the charts raw water turbidity, water supply at parts of Taipei and New Taipei City has been suspended since 4pm yesterday. As of 5 pm yesterday, the water level at Feitsui Reservoir was only 3 meters below its maximum level. Meanwhile, water turbidity at several water purification plants reached above 15,000 nephelometric turbidity units, resulting in the suspension of water supply. In Taipei and New Taipei City, at least 100,000 households were affected after midnight. Normal water supply was expected to be resumed by 6:00 am this morning.
