KUALA LUMPUR – The restoration of water supply to 247 areas affected by unscheduled disruptions is expected to begin in stages tomorrow.
Air Selangor chief executive officer Suhaimi Kamaralzaman said efforts to stabilise the water supply distribution system are underway and water restoration will begin from midnight onwards.
“The supply restoration plans are divided into three main groups, the first group of 145 areas will receive water supply by 6pm tomorrow.
“The second group involving 91 areas will be receiving water supply beginning 6pm, Thursday while the remaining 38 areas under the third group at 6pm on Friday,” he told a press conference on the latest developments in the unscheduled water disruptions, at Air Selangor headquarters today.
Suhaimi also said tests conducted on water samples at the Bukit Tampoi Water Treatment Plant found that the TON (Threshold Odour Number) level was at 3 and efforts to treat raw water are in place.
“Consumers are advised to use water prudently to ensure the restoration process runs smoothly."
A total of 309,687 account holders in Petaling, Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat and Sepang are experiencing an unscheduled water supply disruption which began on Sunday, after the operations of two plants were suspended due to pollution at Sg Semenyih.
