Repairs on burst pipe in Prai River under way after divers assess damage


BUTTERWORTH: Two commercial divers swam down into the turbid waters of the Prai River on Monday (Dec 18) night to determine the scale of the damage to the water pipe.

The 1.35m pipe, which burst earlier that day, sends treated water from Sungai Muda in the north to much of Butterworth on the mainland, the island's South-West District where places like Bayan Lepas and Bayan Baru are situated, and a large portion of George Town.
