One million Selangor, KL residents face water supply disruptions next week

Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) said in a statement here that the supply disruption would begin at 8am on Dec 17 while supply was expected to resume starting at 9pm on the same day and would continue until 8am on Dec 22, (Sunday).

The implementation of the stop-work was to make way for the upgrading, repair and changing of the major assets such as the switchboard and steel pipes.

The statement said that it would involve 217,694 consumer accounts, including in several key areas such as the Royal Selangor Club, National Science Centre, Jalan Duta Government Complexes, and the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).

Water supply in most areas was expected to be reconnected within 24 hours after the stop-work operations had been completed, but it depended on the proximity to the source of supply.

"Syabas expects that areas on high ground and located far from the sources of water, particularly around Petaling, Kuala Lumpur and Klang/Shah Alam are the areas that will have supply resumption last," the statement said.

Syabas also advised consumers to store sufficient water supply because no tanker lorries would be provided during the period of supply disruption (except for the hospitals, dialysis centres and houses of worship) as early notices had been issued.

As an early preparatory measure, Syabas had deployed its staff to face the scheduler stop-work including providing 66 tanker lorries in a state of readiness as well as 750 static tanks if necessary, especially in areas where water supply had yet to be resumed after 24 hours.

Consumers can get in touch with the Customer Service Centre (PUSPEL) at the toll-free number 1-800-88-5252 to seek further information.
