Johor water cuts: Supply restored for some of 300,000 affected residents; pump repairs at halfway mark
He has also instructed other districts to provide support by sending water tankers and mineral water to the affected areas.
'While waiting for the full restoration of the water supply, 39 locations have been supplied with water through tankers in stages while 12 tankers remain stationed at the hospital,' said Fazli, who confirmed that 155,070 consumer accounts were impacted.
'We deeply regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate the patience and cooperation of all users throughout this period,' Fazli added.
Earlier, he had said the disruption involved the supply of 318 million litres per day.
In a Facebook post, Ranhill SAJ said repair works on the faulty pumps were at the '50 per cent mark' as of Thursday morning.
Many residents have called for greater transparency on how long the disruption is expected to last.
'Give us an estimated timeline for full restoration. As experts in the field, surely it's not that hard to provide one,' Nik Asni Azwan commented on Ranhill SAJ's Facebook post on Thursday.
'You should at least say roughly what time or how many more days it will take, and which areas will have their water supply restored first. This is important so that people can plan their next steps,' said Jolin Tan on Facebook.
