BUTTERWORTH: The water supply to the 590,000 consumers affected by the scheduled disruption from Jan 10 will be restored in stages between 48 and 96 hours from that date.

Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) CEO K. Pathmanathan said the projected recovery is based mainly on each consumer's proximity to the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant and location to major state water supply infrastructure.
