Water supply disruption in Petaling, KL and Hulu Langat on Oct 10

Areas in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling and Hulu Langat are expected to experience a scheduled water supply disruption on Oct 10 from 9am onwards due to the implementation of asset improvement and maintenance work at the Sungai Langat Water Treatment Plant (WTP).

Air Selangor acting CEO Abas Abdullah said water supply was expected to be fully restored at noon on Oct 12.

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

"The duration of interruption and restoration of water supply in the affected areas will be 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.

He said Air Selangor would mobilise water tankers to the affected areas, giving priority to critical premises such as hospitals, clinics, dialysis centres and funerals parlours.

He advised users to store enough water and to use water prudently during the supply interruption.
