KUALA LUMPUR – Emergency repairs on a burst pipe near Simpang 3 LBJ, Jalan B48, Kg Chinchang in Salak Tinggi, Sepang, were completed at 2pm today.

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd corporate communications head Elina Baseri said in a statement that water supply had been restored to consumers from 2.30pm in stages at 145 areas in Sepang and 11 areas in Kuala Langat after repairs were finished. 

“Water supply is scheduled to be fully restored by 10am tomorrow,” she said. 

According to Elina, the period of disruption and restoration of water supply varied with the distance of a consumer’s location and the water pressure of the distribution system.

She said Air Selangor mobilised water tankers to the affected areas with priority accorded to critical services like hospitals, dialysis centres, and funeral ceremonies. 

She advised consumers to maintain physical distancing and use face masks when collecting water from lorry tankers.

Elina said consumers can refer to all official communication channels such as the Air Selangor app, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, or contact the Air Selangor hotline at 15300 for the latest information on the incident.

Enquiries and complaints can be directed to the help centre at the website and the Air Selangor app, she added. – Bernama, October 19, 2021
