GEORGE TOWN: Water supply recovery works for 84 per cent of the 120,000 consumers, affected by the diversion works to fix the leaked Sungai Prai pipeline, have been completed.
The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) said about 111,000 affected consumers had their water supply restored ahead of schedule.
It said water supply recovery for the remaining 16 per cent is ongoing.
It is scheduled to be completed by 3.30pm tomorrow.
"PBAPP personnel continue to work in the final stage of supply recovery for the remaining 16 per cent of affected consumers.
"This includes those at the end-of-line and high ground neighbourhoods," it said today.
It was reported yesterday that the on-site diversion works to connect two new 600mm pipelines at Sungai Prai had been completed much earlier than scheduled.
Some 120,000 consumers in the southwest district and part of the northeast district faced another round of water supply disruption from Tuesday night.
The latest water cut was to enable PBAPP to commission two new 600mm pipelines to replace the leaked Sungai Prai underwater pipeline under Plan B
Affected consumers have since taken to PBAPP's Facebook to thank them for getting the water supply ahead of schedule.
