POOR workmanship by contractors at several roads in Kepong and Segambut is angering residents.
The works involve laying of underground pipes to supply water to new and upcoming projects.
Community activist Yee Poh Ping said reports had been made to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
“Contractors must be compelled to resurface the affected spots,” he said during a visit to the junction between Jalan Pintasan Segambut and Jalan 1/40.
Another concern was the stagnant water at the traffic light, which Yee said began to appear two months ago.
“Since construction started in the area, many potholes and subsidence were spotted.”
In a StarMetro report on Aug 12, it was reported that contractors are now required to submit daily reports to DBKL.
The directive involves excavation works exceeding 500m such as road digging and installation of utility cables.
Those who do not comply face fines under the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 133).
Separately, Yee expressed concerns that the retention pond in Taman Pusat Kepong was no longer able to accommodate the volume of water during a downpour.
He said the pond was equipped with two sluice gates, one of which was closed during a recent downpour.
Yee said this had resulted in backflow which caused several areas in Segambut and Kepong to be inundated.
Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Kepong and Jalan Kuching were among areas hit by flash floods.
A security guard at the pond, who only gave her name as Mages, said water rose to knee level within 10 minutes.
