Security will be beefed up in water plants across the country to avoid sabotage acts that could disrupt service, said a minister on Monday.
The measures follow an outage that hit a water plant in Cairo. The cut left Nasr City and other main districts without water supplies for long hours, to the extent that some had to live without running water for up to three consecutive days.
"There will be strict reaction to any sabotage acts," said Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly. His ministry runs the water supplies in the country.
Delayed water projects will be swiftly implemented, promised the minister.
