PENGURUSAN Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) announced that as of 7am, water supply has been restored to 92.2% of the 463 areas affected by service disruption since last Friday.
“Water supply has been fully restored in Kuala Langat, Putrajaya and Sepang. As for Hulu Langat, 92.6% of the areas have had their water supply restored and 81.4% areas in Petaling had their issues resolved too,” Air Selangor corporate communications head Elina Baseri said, in a statement.
Last Friday, Air Selangor closed down the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant at 5.15pm after it detected odour pollution there and resumed operations yesterday afternoon.
It was the second time in a week that the plant was shut down. Last Tuesday, Air Selangor shut down the plant due to odour pollution as well, affecting the same 463 areas.
On that note, Elina said that water supply is expected to be resume as usual tomorrow, by 6am.
She also advised consumers to allow their taps to run for a while until the water is clear enough to be used for consumption.
“And please use water prudently to ensure the recovery process in other affected areas run smoothly as scheduled,” Elina concluded. – Sept 5, 2021.
