SHAH ALAM, Feb 13 — The water supply disruption to 1,037 affected areas in five districts and the areas around Shah Alam is now nearly resolved, as 99 per cent has been restored.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd said as of 6pm, only 12 areas in Klang have yet to fully recover.
“The water supply in the Klang region is expected to fully recover by 6am tomorrow (February 14),” it said in a statement.
Air Selangor added that it hopes consumers who have received the water supply will use water prudently, to ensure the supply recovery process in the affected areas runs smoothly as scheduled.
Consumers can refer to all official communication channels including the Air Selangor app, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or call the Air Selangor Contact Centre at 15300. They can also view the list of affected areas at https://hentitugas.airselangor.com/ and the Air Selangor app.

By 1.30am on Sunday, raw water began to be pumped into the Rantau Panjang WTP and into the SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 WTPs by 2.15am, after a threshold odour number of zero was recorded three times in a row.
Following this, the water supply began to be distributed in stages at 6.30am. Water tankers have been mobilised to provide assistance during this period of unscheduled water disruption.
The affected areas in Klang are as follows:
