Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) said First and Third Stage Water Rationing Plan scheduled to end on Monday (March 31) has been extended to April 30.

The decision was made at the Water Supply Distribution Contingency Plan meeting between the National Water Services Commission (Span) and the Selangor state government yesterday.

"First Stage Water Rationing Plan is still effective as the Cheras Batu 11 and Bukit Tampoi water treatment plants are still closed due to the high ammonia content in Sungai Langat, said Syabas assistant general manager of Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Priscilla Alfred.

The statement said consumers in Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat and Sepang who received water supply from the two treatment plants would face rationing as scheduled in First Stage Rationing Plan.

Third Stage Water Rationing Plan in several areas in the Klang Valley was still effective due to the unchanged water level in the Sungai Selangor Dam.

"Splash (Syarikat Pengeluar Air Selangor) and Puncak Niaga continue to control and reduce the release of raw water from Sungai Selangor Dam and Klang Gates Dam."

Consumers were advised to avoid wastage and refrain from using water for  non-essential purposes such as washing vehicles, filling swimming pools and watering of plants.
