        "content": "<p>A transmission pipe belonging to Perumda Tirta Amertha Bhuana (TAB)\nTabanan experienced a leak on Thursday (16\/4\/2026). As a result,\nthousands of residents in several locations, such as Gubug Village,\nBongan Village, and surrounding areas, have been affected by a clean\nwater crisis over the past three days. To meet customer needs, TAB is\ntemporarily distributing clean water by deploying tanker trucks to\nresidents\u2019 homes. In the process, the distribution is not limited but is\nstill adjusted to the needs in customers\u2019 storage tanks. \u201cWe are\ndeploying tanker trucks with a capacity of 5,000 litres that are given\nto customers,\u201d explained the Head of Public Relations Subsection of\nPerumda TAB, I Putu Wahyu Untung Suardana, when contacted on Saturday\n(18\/4\/2026). The distribution is routinely carried out up to the present\nsince reports of disrupted water flow. While supplying clean water to\ncustomers\u2019 homes, the company is now accelerating repairs to the\ntransmission pipe that encountered the issue. Wahyu revealed that the\nleak was discovered when officers conducted routine maintenance by\ninspecting the transmission pipes on Thursday morning. After the repairs\nwere completed in the afternoon, the water flow to customers was not\nvery strong because there was still a blockage in the equipment.\n\u201cActually, the water is flowing but not at full capacity. As a result,\nwe carried out further repairs to restore the flow to normal,\u201d he\nstated. The company hopes that the issue can be resolved so that the\ndistribution of clean water to customers can return to normal. Even the\nrepair work took until late at night.<\/p>",
