One million to face water cuts

 

Over a million residents in the Klang Valley will face temporary water disruptions as Puncak Niaga conducts a partial supply cut to upgrade, repair and change their Sungai Selangor Phase 2 water treatment plant’s main equipment today.

The disruption will take place at 8am with supply expected to resume gradually starting from 9pm until Sunday.

Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) corporate communication assistant general manager Priscilla Alfred said areas near the plant should have their water supply fully restored by tomorrow.
She said although assistance would be provided to those affected for more than 24 hours, residents were advised to store water and be prudent. “We have placed 66 tanker lorries and 750 static tanks on standby should there be an immediate need, especially at hospitals, dialysis centres and houses of worship,” she said.
