Penang consumers get 24-hour 'pause' between scheduled and surprise water cuts

GEORGE TOWN: Consumers in Penang island's South-West District will have 24 hours' breathing space until a scheduled water supply disruption now that the unexpected interruption caused by the damaged Prai River pipeline is almost resolved.

The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) said the remaining 16% of consumers affected by the water cut after the 1,350mm pipe ruptured on Tuesday (Jan 23) are set to get their supply back by Sunday (Jan 28) evening.
