KUALA LUMPUR – Water supply recovery in areas affected by unscheduled disruptions following odour pollution at the Jenderam raw filter pump station has reached 80% as of 9am today.
State water company Air Selangor said the duration of the water supply recovery in the affected areas will vary depending on the location and distance of consumers’ premises.
“Air Selangor also hopes that consumers who have received the water supply will use water prudently to ensure that the water supply recovery process in the affected areas runs smoothly as scheduled.
“Air Selangor also advises consumers to let their taps flow until the water is clear before use,” it said in a statement today.
Consumers can obtain the latest updates through official communication channels such as the Air Selangor app, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or call the Air Selangor contact centre at 15300.
A total of 472 areas in five Air Selangor regions have been experiencing unscheduled water supply disruptions, starting from 7am on Saturday, following the temporary shutdown of the Sg Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants.
The odour pollution which led to the temporary shutdown of the Sg Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants originated from a liquid spill due to an accident involving a lorry carrying perfume essence.
The accident occurred on the northbound side of the Elite Highway near Bandar Serenia in Negri Sembilan, just outside of the Selangor border. – The Vibes, December 25, 2022
