KUALA LUMPUR: Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) says that improvement, maintenance and asset replacement works at the Sungai Langat water treatment plant (LRA) are still ongoing and are expected to be completed on Tuesday (Oct 10) night.
According to an Air Selangor statement on Tuesday, the work will not affect the full restoration of water supply to users in affected areas in Petaling, Kuala Lumpur and Hulu Langat.
“Water supply will be channelled in stages to consumers once the water supply distribution system has been stabilised. The duration of water supply restoration in the affected areas is different depending on the distance of the location of the user’s premises,” it said.
The statement added that water supply from the Sungai Langat plant is expected to be fully restored at noon on Thursday (Oct 12).
In another development, Air Selangor also announced that the water supply has been restored to 24.5% of the affected areas as of 7 pm today following the temporary shutdown of four plants due to odour pollution in Sungai Selangor.
According to Air Selangor, the supply of clean and treated water has started to be distributed in stages to the consumers’ premises and the water supply is expected to be fully restored at midnight on Thursday (Oct 12).
The four LRAs involved are the Sungai Selangor Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 and Rantau Panjang.
Meanwhile, Air Selangor has advised consumers who have and will have their water supply restored to let the tap run until the water is clear before using it for daily use.
According to the statement, users can get information on the scheduled water supply interruptions from time to time through the official communication channel at waterupdates.airselangor.com.
“Users can also obtain information from alternative official communication channels such as the Air Selangor application, Facebook, Instagram and X or call Air Selangor at 15300 or visit www.airselangor.com,” it added. – BK
