the wake of Typhoon Wipha, which
ripped through Taiwan and headed

Taiwan Water Corp. officials said
water supply to Hsinchu City
was suspended when the water

They added that similar problems

water because heavy rains are
hindering water purification
operations in the areas.
People living in the mountains and
near rivers were warned about the
danger of possible mudslides...
