Air Selangor worker repairing the damaged water pipe.
JALAN Kebun, Kampung Jawa and Taman Pinggiran USJ 1 to 3 residents are still experiencing dry taps due to the burst pipe behind the Carlsberg factory in Shah Alam.
The sudden water cut last night had left these residents high and dry.
T. Vijaya, a Taman Pinggiran USJ 3 resident, said they were now relying on the water from her home tank.
“I have put aside all my household chores, especially cooking and cleaning. I just hope the supply will resumes before the tank run out of water," he said.
Dr Krishna Shanmugam, who runs a clinic in the area, said the situation had affected his clinic operations as they relied heavily on clean water supply.
“We have problems cleaning our dressing instruments after treating injured patients. We hope the water will resume soon."
Surprisingly, areas such as USJ did not experience any disruption as expected.
USJ was one of the locations listed by Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn. Bhd (Syabas) as affected areas.
A statement published on the Syabas Facebook page stated that about 45% of the repair work on the burst pipe.
