Air Selangor: Water supply to return to Gombak after burst pipe repair

 

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) has announced that the emergency repair works for the burst pipe near the Ampang Point Flyover at Jalan Ampang were completed at 8.30pm last night and water supply to affected areas will fully return by tonight.

“We have started to distribute water supply to the affected areas by the unscheduled water disruption in the Gombak region.

“As of 7am, water supply recovery in the 41 affected areas has reached 34 percent. The water supply recovery period differs from one area to another according to the location and distance of consumers’ premises.

“Water supply in all affected areas is expected to fully recover at 10pm today,” said Air Selangor corporate communications head Elina Baseri in a statement.

She added that water tankers will continue to be mobilised in affected areas, with priority given to critical premises such as hospitals, dialysis centres and funerals.

Consumers are required to adhere to physical distancing and to wear face masks while collecting water supply from the water tankers, she said.

Air Selangor also advised consumers who have and will receive their water supply to let the tap runs until the water is clear before using it for daily consumption.

“Air Selangor hopes that consumers who have received water supply will use their water prudently to ensure that the recovery process in the other affected areas runs smoothly as scheduled.

“Consumers can refer to all our official communication channels, namely the Air Selangor application, Facebook, lnstagram, Twitter or contact the Air Selangor Contact Centre at J5300,” she added. - Mkini
