PETALING JAYA: There will be unscheduled water cuts in parts of Selangor after another water treatment plant was shut down due to pollution on Saturday (Sept 28).
Air Selangor said, in a statement Saturday, that work at the Semenyih river treatment plant had been paused for the time being.
"This is the fourth such incident this year that involves a main plant, leading to unscheduled water cuts encompassing large areas," Air Selangor said.
