Faulty pipes main reason for NRW, says SPAN


Keeping a close watch: Two officers checking on the pipes and facilities at the JPS water treatment plant in Gunung Semanggol, Kerian, where a water crisis occurred recently.

PETALING JAYA: One of the main reasons behind the low water reserve margins is Malaysia’s non-revenue water (NRW). And that is mainly the result of leakage from faulty pipes.

The country has an average NRW of 35.5%, which means for every one litre of treated water produced, 0.355 litre is lost.
