00:15The Penang Water Supply Corporation said the scheduled disruptions, which will begin at

00:35to store sufficient water for use during the scheduled water supply interruption.
00:40He apologized for the water cuts, which are expected to end at noon on Saturday, but said
00:45they were necessary to facilitate the project.
00:48Updates on the water cuts will be available on PBAPP's Facebook page or through its
00:5324-hour call center at 04-255-8255.
