KUALA LUMPUR – 238 of the 274 areas affected by the water supply disruption – after the shutting down of the Sg Semenyih and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants –  are receiving their full water supply, as of 6pm today.

Air Selangor corporate communication chief Elina Baseri, in a statement today, said 36 more areas were still in the recovery process.

‘’The percentage of recovery according to regions is, namely, Petaling (73%), Hulu Langat (88%) Kuala Langat (79%) and Sepang and Putrajaya (99%).

‘’Air Selangor is taking measures to stabilise the distribution system to revive areas which are still affected,’’ she added.
