BUTTERWORTH: A burst pipeline in Kampung Lokan, Seberang Prai Utara, has disrupted water supply to 130,790 consumers across Penang.
The pipeline burst at 11.30pm last night, causing flooding in the village and affecting a larger main pipeline.
Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) shut down the main pipeline at 2.38am to carry out emergency repairs.
The shutdown temporarily reduced the volume of treated water pumped from the Sungai Dua water treatment plant to Penang island's twin submarine pipelines in Butterworth.
