Sg Selangor pollution causes water cut in seven Klang Valley districts


PETALING JAYA: An unscheduled water disruption is expected in some areas in seven districts, namely Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang/Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak and Kuala Langat starting from 10am on Thursday (Sept 3).

Pengurusan Air Selangor (Air Selangor) said this was due to the shutting down of four water treatment plants as pollution had been detected in Sungai Selangor on Thursday morning.

The plants affected are the Rantau Panjang Water Treatment Plan which was shut down at 7.15am, the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plants Phase 1,2 and 3, which shut down at 9am.

“The list of impacted areas will be provided from time to time through Air Selangor’s communication medium, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Air Selangor mobile app and website at www.airselangor.com,” said Air Selangor.

It said that together with the Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (Luas), it was taking swift actions to resolve the issue as soon as possible, and also advised consumers to use water prudently.
