See news clipping (Dec 1961, below) on Johor buying water from Singapore in 1961.

Excerpt from a news blog about our Water Story:

Under the 1962 agreement Johor can draw up to 5 mgd of treated water. But they have raised their drawings up to 16 mgd. Why?

There are two water treatment plants on the Johor river operated by Malaysia, in addition to the one run by PUB (SG).
