KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 1,110 areas, or 87% of the areas that experienced water supply disruptions in Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Selangor had their water supply fully recovered as of 3pm today.

Pengurusan Air Selangor (Air Selangor) chief executive officer Suhaimi Kamaralzaman said supply to the remaining 169 areas would be restored in stages, adding that it is expected to be fully restored by 3pm tomorrow.

"Air Selangor would also like to emphasise that the water supplied to consumers has undergone quality testing in compliance with standard operating procedures set by the Health Ministry," he said in a statement today.

The water supply disruption occurred following the suspension of the Sungai Selangor Phase 1, 2, and 3 and Rantau Panjang water treatment plants due to pollution last Tuesday, but consumers had begun receiving their water supply in stages since yesterday. – Bernama, November 12, 2020
