JOHOR BARU: Over 30,000 user accounts in parts of the city and Tebrau will face a 26-hour scheduled water supply disruption on July 15 and 16 because of maintenance works at the Sultan Iskandar Water Treatment Plant in Pasir Gudang.
Water utility firm Ranhill SAJ's chief executive officer Anuar Abdul Ghani said the planned maintenance involves critical instruments at the treatment plant.
The works are necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability and stability of Johor's water supply, he added.
“This temporary shutdown is essential for Ranhill SAJ to carry out comprehensive maintenance of the plant’s water supply system.
“We are confident that this maintenance will help ensure the treated water produced at the plant continues to meet the standards set by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN),” he said in a statement on Monday (July 7).
Anuar added that the scheduled disruption was part of a proactive effort to keep the water distribution system in optimal and safe condition for users.
“We appeal to all affected consumers to store sufficient water ahead of time and to use water wisely throughout the disruption period,” he said.
He added that during the disruption, water tankers will be deployed to meet emergency demand, particularly from critical facilities such as hospitals, dialysis centres and institutions that require an uninterrupted supply.
