In a statement, the local authority and the water company said the heavy rains caused "extensive damage to two raw water pipelines" that connected the city's water supply to a nearby dam.

More than 400 people died after devastating floods wrought havoc in the area.

Tens of thousands of people were also forced from their homes after mudslides submerged and swept away houses.
