PBAPP directed to plan for earlier restoration of water supply, says CM


GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) aims to restore water supply to more than 50% of the population within a 72-hour period, says Chow Kon Yeow.

The Chief Minister said this follows the scheduled water disruptions from Jan 10 to 14 next year after the state water authority decided to replace the two main control valves measuring 1,200mm in the main treated water pipe within the plant, which has been leaking, at the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant.
