00:00 The first day of the statewide water supply disruption in Penang went without any major
00:07 hitches.
00:08 Tabs had turned dry as early as 5am during the 96-hour water cut which started on Wednesday.
00:16 While some food stalls were open, other stall owners decided to take a break until water
00:20 supply resumes.
00:22 The Bayan Baru food court in Bayan Lepas, which is usually packed with customers as
00:26 early as 8am for breakfast, was practically deserted with 80% of stalls closed and no
00:32 customers in sight.
00:34 Association Chairman Roy Ang said 80% of the 140 stalls at the food court had closed and
00:39 he expected more to do so later.
00:42 Ang said there was water supply at the food court as the Penang Island City Council or
00:46 MBPP had placed a water tank for washing purposes.
00:50 With water supply being completely cut, Penangites have been stocking up on mineral water, with
00:55 supermarkets bringing in more supply.
00:58 Almost 600,000 consumers are affected by the scheduled water cut from January 10 till January
01:04 14.
01:05 The supply disruption is meant to allow for valve replacement work at the Sungai Dua water
01:10 treatment plant and repair work at several locations along the main pipeline.
