Burst water pipe causes traffic jam
Bumper-to-bumper: Cars inching their way forward along Jalan Tebrau after a burst water pipe flooded part of the road yesterday. JOHOR BARU: Motorists fumed when they were caught in a major traffic jam for hours on the busy Jalan Tebrau here following a burst water pipe.
The pipe burst after a tractor used for road-widening work in the area accidentally hit it, said Syarikat Air Johor (SAJ) Holdings Sdn Bhd head of corporate communications Jamaluddin Jamil.
Jamaluddin said the company shut down the main outlet to ensure no wastage of water.
He added that it was not a main water pipe and SAJ did not believe the surrounding residents would experience water cuts.
Those with water supply problems can call SAJ’s hotline at 1-800-88-7474 or e-mail SAJ at customer.care@saj.com.my.
