KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): A total of 120 areas in Gombak and 57 other areas around Kuala Lumpur involving 119,630 registered customer accounts will experience temporary water supply disruption for 23 hours, beginning Thursday (Oct 31).

According to a statement from Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) Tuesday (Oct 29), this is due to emergency maintenance work to replace the sluice valve at the Kepong Estate Water Pool, which is suffering a serious leak.

He said the water supply would be resumed as soon the repair work was completed, and expected it to fully recover by 8pm Friday (Nov 1).

Those affected are advised to store adequate water supply for use during the disruption, and Air Selangor will also be mobilising water tanks, prioritising premises with critical and urgent requirements.
