Ways to deal with our water woes

Over a million residents in the Klang Valley faced yet another water crisis this past week, beginning on Sept 3, 2020. Supply was being restored in stages at the time of writing, with 62.7% of affected areas reconnected on Sunday (Sept 6) night.

Although people may see red over such unscheduled water cuts, I for one am extremely grateful to Air Selangor for doing the right thing by shutting off supply. Despite the expected backlash and the necessarily uncertain timeline to flush out the pollutants and restore supply, Air Selangor acted responsibly to ensure people are provided with clean, potable water.
