Water supply going to be cut off for 2 days but Press Release only comes in at 5pm just now

Of all the 60 people which I text-message just now, only 1 person caught the press release on Syabas' water ration of 48 hours. According to the Syabas website and The Star there will be major maintenance work which disrupts water supply from 8am to day till 8am Friday (22-24 June). Such a major event and Syabas releases the press statement this late. One wonders whether the maintenance is planned or is there something happening behind the scene.
