Residents have expressed concerns regarding water quality in their area, frequently reporting contamination issues to the Urban Water Supply Board. In response, officials from the Board have consistently attributed these water quality problems to contamination caused by heavy rainfall.

Heavy rains can indeed affect water supply systems, often leading to increased runoff that can carry pollutants into sources of drinking water.
