KUANTAN, July 9 (Bernama) -- Several areas in Kuantan will face an unscheduled 12-hour water supply disruption starting 11pm tonight due to repair and maintenance work at the Kobat Pump House.

Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP) CEO Datuk Saiful Zaini Mohd Bokhari said the works, scheduled to end by 11am tomorrow (July 10), are a preventive measure to avoid major operational issues in the future.

“PAIP will do its best to minimise the disruption,” he said in a statement.

Among the affected areas are Beserah to the Chendor border, including the Malaysia-China Industrial Park, Maritim, Bandar Damansara, Taman Dato’ Rashid, Batu Hitam, Kampung Darat Sekolah, Jeram, Sungai Karang Maju, Aspa Cottage, Jabor, Sungai Karang, Chengal Lempong, Balok, Seberang Balok, Sungai Ular, Cherating, Kubang Ikan and the port area.
