SHAH ALAM, Dec 22 — Water supply has been restored to 87 per cent of the areas that were experiencing water cuts due to the forced closure of four water treatment plants (WTP) on Sunday.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) in a statement today said from the three regions affected, Petaling had achieved 100 per cent water supply restoration, while Hulu Langat is at 89.9 per cent and Kuala Lumpur at 81.7 per cent, as of 6am today.
“The areas were affected by the shutdown of four WTPs due to the increasing water level and emergency closure on December 19.
