Johor Petroleum Development Corporation Berhad (JPDC) received a visit from the National Water Services Commission (Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara - SPAN) to Pusat Informasi Setempat Pengerang (PISP) on 1 April, 2019. Led by Puan Recca Tharmarajah, Deputy Director of Standard Technical and Compliance Division, the delegation was briefed on Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) by Encik Mustafa Akbar Reza, Head of Planning and Development, JPDC. Prior to this visit, JPDC had presented to SPAN its Sewerage Management Plan which covers PIPC and its immediate peripheral area. The current visit to PIPC allows SPAN to have a greater understanding of what is actually on the ground, especially with regards to PIPC’s water catchment area. This will assists them in preparing for their technical paper to SPAN Technical Committees to seek endorsement on the proposed plan. Encik Mustafa mentioned, “This project enables not only the industrial area but also the community outside the PIPC area to benefit from a modern and properly planned sewerage management system.”
