What advice has PBAPP given to residents ahead of the disruption?

Question

Accepted Answer

PBAPP has advised residents in affected areas to store adequate water in anticipation of a 12-hour disruption.

Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) has urged consumers in Seberang Perai Selatan to prepare for a significant water supply interruption. The disruption is scheduled to last for 12 hours, commencing at 10pm on August 2. Residents are being advised to ensure they have sufficient water reserves to cover their needs throughout the duration of the outage.
Water Storage Recommendation

PBAPP chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa specifically recommended that residents store enough water for overnight use. This measure is intended to mitigate the inconvenience caused by the planned interruption, which is necessary for essential infrastructure work.
Reason for Disruption

The water supply disruption is a direct consequence of a planned diversion of a 900mm mild steel water supply pipeline. This diversion is required to move the pipeline away from a Public Works Department (JKR) road-widening project site located at Jalan Sungai Bakap in Seberang Perai Selatan. The relocation is a safety precaution to prevent potential pipeline bursts and subsequent unscheduled interruptions.
Affected Areas

The areas anticipated to be affected by the 12-hour water disruption include Taman Widuri, Sungai Udang, Tanjung Berembang, and Bandar Baru. These locations will experience a complete cessation of water supply during the specified period.
