NINETY-NINE areas in Klang, Shah Alam and Kuala Selangor will face unscheduled water supply disruption next Monday, Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) said today.

Air Selangor said the water disruption is caused by emergency repair works due to a pipe burst at Jalan Bukit Cerakah, Bandar Puncak Alam in Kuala Selangor. 

Water supply to these areas will be stopped at 9am on May 22 with full supply only resuming two days later.

“Water supply will be distributed to consumers in stages when the repair works are completed and the main water supply distribution system has been stabilised. 

“Water supply is expected to fully recover by 9pm Wednesday,” the state water authority said in a statement.

Air Selangor said the prolonged water disruption is due to a longer repair works and recovery period, as it involves a main distribution pipe with a diameter of 2,200mm and a large-scale distribution area. 

Air Selangor also said it would be mobilising water tankers to the affected areas by giving priority to critical premises such as hospitals, dialysis centres and funerals.

The areas affected by the unscheduled water supply disruption is listed here.

Consumers are also advised to obtain information on this unscheduled water supply disruption through official communication channels such as the Air Selangor app, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or contact Air Selangor at 15300. 

Water disruptions in Klang Valley have been an ongoing issue for consumers, with them suffering a series of long water supply cuts in recent years, largely attributed to water source pollution and pipe repairs. – May 17, 2023.
