SHAH ALAM, Oct 1 — Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) will be carrying out upgrading and maintenance works for critical assets that requires a three-day shutdown of the Sungai Selangor Phase 1 Water Treatment Plant (SSP1 WTP) starting on October 13.
In a statement, it said the scheduled water supply disruption will begin at 9am on that day, with water to be restored in stages at 5pm the following day.
Air Selangor said water supply is expected to be fully restored at 9pm on October 16.
“This will cause a scheduled water supply disruption in 998 areas encompassing the Petaling, Klang/Shah Alam, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Hulu Selangor, Kuala Langat and Kuala Selangor regions,” it said.
The agency will be mobilising 105 water tankers to the affected areas, with priority given to critical premises such as hospitals, dialysis centres and funerals. It will also provide 18 public water taps from October 14 to 16 for customers in need of water supply during the period.
“As for commercial customers, four local water filling stations will be made available for them to purchase water supply and to be collected using their own water tankers.
“Commercial customers can make payment for the water supply purchase at all 10 Air Selangor Customer Service Counters,” it said.
Air Selangor also advised affected customers to store sufficient amounts of water and to use water prudently during this temporary scheduled disruption.
“The implementation of these works was previously scheduled in 2019 and consequently in 2020, but was postponed due to water pollution incidents that had caused a large-scale unscheduled water supply disruption,” it said, adding the scheduled disruption has been approved by the National Water Service Commission (Span).
