KUALA LUMPUR – From yesterday, five areas in Petaling, 14 in Klang, and 11 in Shah Alam were hit by a scheduled water supply disruption set to go on until Thursday.
The supply cut is to facilitate maintenance works to remove and install new pipes at Persiaran Selangor in Section 15, Shah Alam.
For residents of Taman Bunga Negara in Section 27, Shah Alam, however, water supply disruption is nothing new, and many were more than ready to get their fill when the Air Selangor water trucks arrived.
