Malé is facing a drinking water shortage after production companies halted deliveries to shops and businesses.
Local media reported that supplies are low for the Life brand produced by Happy Market and the Taza brand produced by a subsidiary of the Malé Water and Sewerage Company.
According to shopkeepers, Happy Market and MWSC have stopped taking orders for five-litre bottles until next week.
“They aren’t even noting down orders for Taza 1.5-litre cases. The last time they brought fresh supplies was last Monday. Right now Taza is only providing 5-litre water bottles. Others are only available earliest on Sunday,” a shopkeeper in Maafannu ward told Mihaaru.
