SHAH ALAM, Feb 12 — The water supply in 1,037 affected areas in five districts and areas around Shah Alam has now reached 52 per cent as of 12pm, said Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd.
In a statement, it said as of 2pm Hulu Selangor has been fully restored, followed by Gombak at 99 per cent, Petaling at 41 per cent, Kuala Selangor at 36 per cent, and Klang and Shah Alam at 22 per cent. Kuala Langat has yet to be restored.
“The duration of the water supply recovery in the affected areas will vary depending on the location and distance of consumers’ premises.
“We also hope 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,” Air Selangor said.

Yesterday at 9.45pm, a diesel-like odour was detected at the intake of all four WTPs, necessitating a temporary shutdown. By 1.30am today, 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.
