Water supply in 1,077 areas or 83 percent of the total 1,292 places that experienced water supply disruption when Phase 1, 2, 3 and Rantau Panjang of the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plants (LRA) were forced to close operation last Monday, has been fully restored as of 6am today.

Air Selangor Corporate Communications head Elina Baseri said efforts were being made to restore the supply to the remaining 215 areas.

“Air Selangor has maximised efforts to restore water supply to the affected consumers.

“As such, the new time for the water supply to be fully restored to all the areas affected is scheduled at 8am on Oct 22 (tomorrow),” she said in a statement today.

She said Hulu Selangor recorded the highest recovery rate, at 100 percent, followed by Kuala Selangor (99 percent), Petaling Jaya (94 percent), Kuala Lumpur (89 percent), Gombak (71 percent), Klang/Shah Alam (54 percent) and Kuala Langat (50 percent).

Elina said those affected with the unscheduled water supply disruption could obtain their water supply at public hydrants and One-Stop Service Centres.

Updates on the restoration work of the water supply will be available at the Air Selangor website, as well as Air Selangor Twitter, Facebook and Instagram account, she added.
