AREAS in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling and Hulu Langat are expected to experience a scheduled water supply disruption on October 10 from 9am to allow for maintenance works at the Sungai Langat water treatment plant.

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) acting chief executive officer Abas Abdullah said water supply is expected to be fully restored at noon on October 12.

“These works are expected to be completed at 7pm, October 10 (Tuesday). Water supply is expected to resume in stages after the improvement and maintenance works are completed and when the main water supply distribution system has been stabilised.

“The duration of interruption and restoration of water supply in the affected areas is different depending on the distance of the location of the user’s premises and the pressure on the water supply distribution system,” he said in a statement today.

He said following that Air Selangor will mobilise water tankers to the affected areas by giving priority to critical premises such as hospitals, clinics and dialysis centres.

Abas advised the affected users to store enough water and to use it prudently during the period.

He said for commercial customers, treated water can be purchased at any Air Selangor customer service counter in the affected region.

“For this purpose, commercial customers can use their respective water tankers at the two water filling stations which will be opened at Sunway Batu Caves and Selayang Mutiara,” he said.

The public can also obtain information regarding the scheduled water supply interruptions through Air Selangor’s official communication channels such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. They may also call Air Selangor at 15300. – Bernama, September 26, 2023.
