RESIDENTS in several Selangor and Kuala Lumpur areas will face water disruption up to four days because of emergency repair works at a water treatment plant.

Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) said that the operator of the Sungai Selangor Phase 3 plant would take 10 hours for critical equipment repair work from 8am to 6pm on Tuesday.

Syabas said the repairs would lead to a total plant shutdown.

“The plant currently produces 800 to 820 million litres water per day.

“With such a large volume, the time needed to restore water supplies to our customers will differ from one area to another, depending on their geographical location and altitude,” said Syabas in a statement.

Klang and Shah Alam will be affected from 8am on Tuesday (March 6) until 9am on Friday (March 9).
