Water supply in Klang Valley restored by 98 pct, six regions fully recovered

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 16 — The restoration of water supply in the affected areas in the Klang Valley has reached 98 per cent as of 6am today, said Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor).

Water supply has been fully restored in six regions, namely Hulu Selangor, Kuala Langat, Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Petaling and Gombak.

“The recovery rate in Kuala Lumpur is at 95.5 per cent and Klang (89.4 per cent),” Air Selangor said in a statement today.

According to Air Selangor, the duration of the disruption and restoration of water supply in the affected areas would differ depending on the distance of the consumer’s premises and the water pressure of the distribution system.

Air Selangor hoped that consumers who have received their water supply would use water prudently to allow the recovery process in the other affected areas to run smoothly as scheduled.

The water operator had previously announced that a total of 998 areas in eight districts would be affected by scheduled water supply disruption from October 13 to 16 due to the shutting down of the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plant Phase 1 (SSP1 WTP) for upgrading and maintenance works.

Users in the affected areas are advised to follow the latest updates via the hentitugas.airselangor.com/ website.

More information on the disruption can be found on Air Selangor’s mobile app, and its Facebook, Instagram and Twitter account including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
