00:00 The diversion of a ruptured pipe under Sungai Perai would require a temporary water cut
00:08 to some 120,000 users on Penang Island, says Chief Minister Chow Kwon Yau.
00:14 He said the water cuts will impact the southwest district.
00:17 However, no specific date for the disruption has been set yet.
00:22 The ruptured pipe supplies treated water from Butterworth to at least half of the island.
00:27 Over the past two months, it had given way three times despite repairs being carried
00:31 out.
00:32 According to Chow, work is underway to divert the pipe and have it run above the river temporarily.
00:39 Although the water cut would not be as massive as before, he said the diversion would take
00:43 16 hours and the supply should return in less than a day.
00:48 Diversion work has begun along the banks of Sungai Perai, involving two pipes stacked
00:52 along the sides of the nearby Ampang Jajar Bridge.
00:56 While this happens, one of the bridge's four lanes will be closed.
