‘High time for old water pipes to be replaced’

Cutting wastage: Apart from water theft, leaking or broken pipes also contribute to NRW issues.

PETALING JAYA: It is high time that some 44,000km of old asbestos-cement (AC) pipes were replaced to reduce leakages, said the Malaysia Water Association.

Its president Syed Mohamad Adnan Mansor Alhabshi said the longer the delay, the greater the leakages would be.
