Paip told to expedite completion of project
KUANTAN: A faulty water pump had caused service disruption to various parts of town recently.
Water supply in the affected area was restored recently after repairs were made on a faulty pump.
Teruntum assemblyman Chang Hong Seong said Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad
(Paip) had fixed faulty equipment at Kampung Kobat.
Areas like the Semambu industrial area, he added, was severly affected by the disruption.
Chang said the source of the problem was a system overload in the pump station's switchboard after a rat had chewed through it.
The crisis had left most neighbourhoods in Kuantan without water supply for four days.
"To deal with this problem in the future, the state has asked Paip to expedite the completion of another four new pumps at Kampung Kobat which will resolve all water supply problems if any of the pumps malfunctioned," said Chang.
He added that the project is expected to be completed by early next yearand the existing seven old pumps would become back-up for the whole of Kuantan.
