th 11 September 2017 PRESS STATEMENT by Dato’ Ir. Jaseni Maidinsa, Chief Executive Officer, PBA Holdings Bhd (PBAHB) and Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang Sdn Bhd (PBAPP) OVERNIGHT PIPE WORKS: 12-HOUR SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION IN BUTTERWORTH AND SEBERANG PRAI UTARA AREAS ON 17/9/2017 AND 18/9/2017. • Duration: 10.00pm on Sunday, 17/9/2017 – 10.00am on Monday, 18/9/2017. • Affected: 46,000 people (no water supply) and 52,000 people (low water pressure). • Reason: Installation of a pressure reducing valve (PRV) on a 600mm mild steel pipeline at Jalan Pekan Darat, Seberang Prai Utara, to reduce incidences of pipe bursts, underground leaks and non-revenue water (NRW) losses. PENANG, Monday (11/9/2017): A key 600mm mild steel water pipeline at Jalan Pekan Darat in Butterworth will be temporarily “shut down” for 12 hours overnight to facilitate pipe works. This “shut down” is required to enable the installation of a pressure reducing valve (PRV) on the pipeline at Jalan Pekan Darat in Seberang Prai Utara (SPU). The key purpose of the PRV is to reduce the water pressure in smaller distribution pipelines in SPU and Seberang Prai Tengah (SPT). In doing so, it will reduce incidences of pipe bursts, underground leaks and non- revenue water (NRW) losses. In recent years, PBAPP has been pumping treated water at higher pressures from the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in SPU, via two major 1350mm pipelines, to meet increasing water demand in Seberang Prai and on Penang Island. This is in line with PBAPP’s vision to meet all of Penang’s water supply needs, 24/7, as well as the Penang State Government’s “no water rationing” policy. OVERNIGHT PIPE WORKS: 12-HOUR SCHEDULED WATER SUPPLY INTERRUPTION IN SEBERANG PRAI TENGAH AND SEBERANG PRAI UTARA ON 17/9/2017 AND 18/9/2017 / Page 1 of 4 While high pressure delivers more water rapidly via these major pipelines, it inadvertently causes pipe bursts, underground leakages and higher NRW losses in smaller pipelines in the surrounding areas. The PRV will allow PBAPP to reduce water pressure only to the smaller pipelines in SPT and SPU, while allowing the Sungai Dua WTP to pump water at high pressures along the major pipelines. As such, it is an urgent engineering solution to sustain water supply efficiency on the mainland and the island. Scheduled Water Supply Interruption: Affected Areas The 600mm pipeline shut down to enable PRV installation will cause a 12- hour scheduled water supply interruption, from 10.00pm on Sunday, 17/9/2017, to 10.00am on Monday, 18/9/2017. About 46,000 people will experience no water supply while an additional 52,000 people will experience low water pressure. All residents in the following areas are kindly advised to store sufficient water for overnight use: (A) “NO SUPPLY” AREAS Seberang Prai Utara (SPU) 1 Jalan Gelung Bubu 5 Kampung Gelang Bubu 2 Kampung Tok Bidan 6 Kampung Paya Ptg.
