00:00 The replacement of two leaking control valves at the Sungai Dua water treatment plant is
00:07 proceeding according to the schedule.
00:09 And the Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) expects to commence phase one of the water
00:15 supply restoration work as planned, starting at 6.01 am tomorrow.
00:20 Its Chief Executive Officer K Padmanabhan said the replacement work is progressing as
00:25 planned with PBAPP achieving 60% progress with one valve and 30% with the second valve.
00:32 "No matter what, what we want to say here is that PBAPP will follow the schedule.
00:40 The restoration will indeed follow the schedule.
00:43 We don't have anything to delay.
00:46 We follow the schedule."
00:48 Penang is facing a scheduled 96-hour water supply disruption and ancillary works.
00:54 Full supply restoration is expected to take 72 hours.
00:58 Meanwhile, Padmanabhan said PBAPP has allocated a total of RM180 million to implement about
01:05 76 projects involving replacement and maintenance work throughout the state.
01:09 These projects will be carried out in stages over the next three to five years.
01:14 "We will see that after five kilometres, the PBA will find a leak.
01:21 It will block the road and excavate.
01:24 Because our system of pipes is all under construction.
01:28 So after eight kilometres, you will see the PBA will block and excavate.
01:33 So this has to be done in stages."
01:36 Padmanabhan said the estimated cost for replacing pipes along 1,200 kilometres is RM2.2 billion.
