What’s the worst thing that can happen besides having no electricity in the middle of the night? Water disruptions. *sigh*. Even mandi kerbaus need to bathe okay! Geddit?

“A total of 800 to 820 million litres of water is produced by the plant per day currently. With such a large volume, the duration of water supply restoration will differ from one area to another,” said Syabas.
Consumers are also advised to store sufficient water for the duration of the water disruption. You don’t want to run out of water on those days!

Here’s another alternative: crash at a friend’s house that’s not affected by the water cut. 😉
