Nope, still no water... Chiew (left) with a few Taman Bukit Kuchai residents, who are anxious for their water supply to come back on again.
WATER supply has been restored for 91.7% in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, with just a few areas still experiencing dry taps.
Earlier this morning, a Syabas statement said work was being done to increase the water supply and pressure to the distribution channels to restore supply as soon as possible.
Among the places where water was yet to be restored at the time were Taman Puchong Perdana, SS12 to SS19 in Subang Jaya, Bandar Sri Permaisuri and Jalan Wangsa Ukay 5A.
Despite the assurance, many in the affected areas are worried and people are becoming frustrated to be the last few to get their water supply back on.
One such area is Taman Bukit Kuchai, one of the first areas to experience the water cut.
The residents did not expect their disruption to last almost a week, and many ran out of stored water on Friday.
“This morning, we all got up anticipating everything to be back to normal, but we've only had droplets and now the taps are only carrying wind,” said Agnes Loh, a resident along Jalan 16.
Agnes said they have been relying on water from neighbouring areas, and it had become a hassle for her to carry pails of water on a daily basis.
Residents have also been calling up Puchong MCA Kinrara Service Centre deputy chairman Lawrence Chiew for assistance.
Chiew said his phone had been buzzing with complaints since the water cuts began but the frequency had increased in the last two days.
According to him, residents were upset to be forced to wait for their supply while others around the state were already enjoying the basic commodity.
Chiew said he had urged Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd to find ways to ease the burden of the residents as soon as possible.
“However, I must also ask the residents to be patient for a while longer.
