Undersecretary of Ministry of Electricity and Water Eng Mohammad Bushahri called on all citizens and expatriates to avoid wasting water during the celebrations of the National Days.

According to local media report, Bushahri warned about the water that people would use during the celebrations, as the source of the water is unknown and may contain harmful substances.

He affirmed that the ministry shares with the citizens the joy of celebrating the Independence Day and Liberation Day of Kuwait. However, the celebrations should not involve wastage of water especially since it is subsidized and costs the state a large sum of money.

Eng Bushahri stressed the need to celebrate the National Days in an elite manner that matches the culture of Kuwait.

He revealed that the consumption of water during the National Days celebrations in the last few years increased by 14 million gallons compared to the regular consumption rate. Eng. Bushahri also urged citizens to instruct their domestic workers and drivers to minimize the consumption of water and advise them to use buckets for washing cars instead of hoses.
