SHAH ALAM, Aug 12 — Water supply was fully restored by in about 84 per cent of the areas experiencing unscheduled water supply disruption in Petaling, Kuala Lumpur and Hulu Langat as of 6am today.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) in a Facebook post said water supply recovery in the affected areas will vary depending on the location and distance of consumers’ premises.
“Water supply in all 397 affected areas in the three Air Selangor regions is expected to fully recover at 8pm, today.
“As of 6am, the water supply recovery in the affected areas has reached 84 per cent,” the post read.
Yesterday, 397 areas in three Air Selangor regions, namely Petaling (3 areas), Kuala Lumpur (172 areas) and Hulu Langat (222 areas), were hit by unscheduled water cut following the temporary shutdown of the Langat 2 water treatment plant.
The temporary closure was due to a pollution incident due to oil spillage at Sungai Semantan, Karak, Pahang, caused by an accident on the KM75.9 Karak-Bentong Highway heading towards Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.
State executive councillor for environment Hee Loy Sian had said that no chemical traces were found in Sungai Langat following a thorough inspection by the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas), which was carried out on the same day the accident occurred.
