Around 100,000 homes in Johor Baru are facing water disruptions after a major pump failure at the Sungai Johor water treatment plant. Operations halted late yesterday, affecting 318 million litres of daily supply. While 11,000 accounts have had supply restored through emergency reprocessing, full repairs — currently 15% complete — are expected by 7 am tomorrow. Water tankers have been deployed to key locations, and authorities assure phased restoration once repairs are done.
