Four water treatment plants resume operations, supply expected by 3pm

Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) has announced that the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plant Phase 1, 2, 3 and the Rantau Panjang plant have resumed operations at 2.40am, in stages after reading 0 TON (threshold odour numbers) three times in a row.

"As of 7am, all four plants have completed their activities of washing and pumping to ensure the quality of water supplied is clean and safe according to standards of the Health Ministry.

"Water supply is expected to be received by consumers by 3pm this afternoon in stages, depending on the position of one's residential zone in the water supply distribution area," Air Selangor corporate communications head Elina Baseri said in a statement this morning.

She said Air Selangor had performed quality verification on the water in each part of the water treatment process as well as balance ponds and that the Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (Span) has verified that there was no longer any odour.

"Air Selangor is working to stabilise the distribution system before the water supply can be distributed to users.

"Air Selangor will issue a water supply restoration schedule by area after the distribution system has stabilised," Elina added.

Alternative water supply assistance being implemented by Air Selangor will be continued to assist affected users, including the mobilisation of 111 tank trucks, 14 public taps and 17 local service centres.

Yesterday, more than 1.1 million households in the Klang Valley were affected by the unscheduled water supply disruption.
