Taps to run dry in parts of Klang Valley for 3 days

PETALING JAYA: Klang Valley residents are advised to store sufficient water as supply will be disrupted for up to three days beginning Tuesday due to emergency repair works at a water treatment plant.
Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) said Syarikat Pengeluar Air Selangor Holdings Bhd (Splash), the operator of Sungai Selangor Phase 3 (SSP3) Water Treatment Plant, will carry out critical equipment repair works for a period of 10 hours, from 8am to 6pm on Tuesday, resulting in a total plant shutdown.
"As such, several areas in Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Langat and Hulu Selangor will experience temporary water supply disruption.
"Currently the plant produces 800 to 810 million litres water per day, with such a large volume, the duration of water supply restoration to our customers will differ from one area to another depending on their geographical location and altitude," Syabas said.
Syabas said, Petaling will face water supply disruption from March 6 (8am) to March 7 (9pm); Klang/ Shah Alam: March 6 (8am) to March 9 (9am); Gombak: March 6 (8am) to March 8 (12am); Kuala Lumpur: March 6 (8am) to March 8 (9pm); Kuala Langat: March 6 (8am) to March 7 (3pm); and Hulu Selangor: March 6 (8am) to March 7 (9pm).
