SHAH ALAM, Aug 31 — Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) and the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) are currently identifying the source of raw water pollution along Sungai Semenyih and its tributaries.

Air Selangor corporate communication head Elina Baseri said this is following the odour pollution detected at the Jenderam Hilir Raw Water Pump Station at 11.10am today, which led to the temporary closure of the Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant.

In a statement today, Elina said a total of 463 areas in five Air Selangor regions, namely Petaling (172 areas), Hulu Langat (54 areas), Sepang (194 areas), Putrajaya (23 areas) and Kuala Langat (20 areas), are expected to experience unscheduled water supply disruptions.

“Consumers can get the list of areas affected by this water supply disruption through the Air Selangor website at airselangor.com as well as the Air Selangor application.

“Air Selangor has activated the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to provide emergency water supply assistance to the affected consumers.

“Air Selangor understands the consumers’ need for clean water, especially during the increase in Covid-19 cases. Air Selangor is making all efforts to minimise the impact of disruption to the affected consumers,” the statement read.

Updates are available from time to time on Air Selangor’s official communication channels via the Air Selangor application, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Consumers can also call the Air Selangor Contact Centre at 15300.

Inquiries and complaints can be submitted at the Help Centre via airselangor.com and the Air Selangor application.
