SHAH ALAM, July 29 — The Sungai Rasa Water Treatment Plant is expected to undergo asset upgrading and maintenance works early next month, which will disrupt the water supply to 188 areas in the Hulu Selangor region.

In a statement on Tuesday (July 26) Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) said the works will commence at 9am on August 9, with full recovery expected by 1am on August 11.

“The implementation of these works has been approved by the National Water Service Commission (SPAN) to ensure the water supply distribution system is at an optimum level for the convenience of consumers in the future.

“The water supply is expected to be distributed in stages to consumers starting from 1am on August 10, after the upgrading and maintenance works have been completed and the water supply distribution system stabilised

“The duration of water supply disruption and recovery in the affected areas will vary depending on the location of the consumer’s premises and water pressure at the distribution system,” it said.

To this, the agency will mobilise water tankers to affected areas, with priority given to critical premises including hospitals, dialysis centres and funerals.

“Air Selangor would like to advise affected consumers to keep adequate water supply and use water prudently during this period of scheduled water supply disruption.

“For commercial customers, the purchase of water supply can be made at Air Selangor’s customer service counters in the Gombak and Petaling regions. Commercial customers can use their respective water tanker trucks at two local water filling stations in Batu Caves dan Persiaran Mahogani Kota Damansara,” it said.
