KUALA LUMPUR – Water supply to 1,263 areas, or 99% of the total 1,279 areas in the Klang Valley affected by an unscheduled disruption, has been restored as of 6am today.

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd corporate communications head Elina Baseri, in a statement, said the remaining 16 areas will see supply restored in stages.

She said areas in Petaling, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Langat and Kuala Selangor have recorded a 100% recovery rate, while Klang/Shah Alam is at 92% and Hulu Selangor (91%).

“Air Selangor hopes that consumers whose water supply has been restored will use it prudently to ensure the recovery process in other affected areas can be done smoothly and according to schedule.

“Consumers can still get water supply from public water taps and service centres.”

On Tuesday, Air Selangor announced that operations at the Rantau Panjang, and Sg Selangor Phases 1, 2 and 3 treatment plants were suspended due to river pollution. – Bernama, November 13, 2020
