SHAH ALAM, March 31 — A total of 12,462 consumers in 30 areas in Selangor affected by the scheduled water disruption have had their supply restored as at 1pm today.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) in a statement said the figure represents 25.42 per cent of the 49,030 affected consumers.
“The duration of the disruption and the water supply recovery of the affected areas differ according to the distance of consumers’ premises and the water pressure at the distribution system.
“Air Selangor advises consumers who have received supply to let the tap water flow until it turns clear before use,” said the water utility company.
Its Corporate Communications head Elina Baseri hopes that consumers whose water supply is restored would use it prudently to ensure the recovery process in other affected areas runs smoothly.
The following are the details on the water supply disruption, affecting several areas in Petaling, Klang and Shah Alam:
– Pipe diversion and connection work on March 30, from 9am to 9pm
– Involve five areas in Petaling, Klang (14), and Shah Alam (11)
– Water supply is expected to be fully restored on April 1 at 9am
The water supply disruption was due to scheduled maintenance work on major assets that was approved by the National Water Service Commission (SPAN).
