According to the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP), the scheduled water disruption will start at 10pm next Thursday and continue until noon the following day.

In a statement, PBAPP said a 900mm sluice valve at one of the Batu Ferringhi water treatment plant inlet pipelines had malfunctioned and would be replaced with a new 900mm butterfly valve.

The company will also service high-voltage switchgear and a transformer, with TNB personnel on-site to perform preventive maintenance work.

PBAPP advised those affected by the coming disruption to store water for use overnight and the following morning until water supply services are normalised.
