A TOTAL of 472 areas in Petaling, Kuala Lumpur and Hulu Langat will experience unscheduled water supply disruptions due to floods in several areas in the Klang Valley.

Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, in a statement today, said two of its water treatment plants (LRA) have to stop operating, namely the Langat 2 LRA because of the shutting down of power supply to the water inlet in Semantan, and Cheras Batu 11 LRA due to floods.

The Sungai Langat LRA could only operate at half capacity as the rising level of murkiness in the water has resulted in it being able to only produce 40% of its usual daily water supply.

Air Selangor said it could not mobilise its tanker trucks to provide alternative water supply to consumers and critical premises in the affected areas because several major roads have been closed due to the escalating flood situation.

It also said it could not estimate when the three LRAs will resume full operations.

It said it will provide information relating to the incident from time to time and consumers can get a list of areas involved through the website and the Air Selangor application. – Bernama, December 19, 2021.
