Various areas across Kuala Lumpur will face disrupted water supply today following emergency repair works due to a burst pipe at Hub Pasar Seni, Kuala Lumpur.

Air Selangor in a statement said the water cuts started at 6am today and repair works are expected to be completed at 1am, tomorrow.

“Water supply will be distributed to consumers in stages when the repair works are completed and the main water supply distribution system has been stabilised.

“Water supply is expected to recover fully at 1pm on Oct 9,” said Air Selangor.

Affected areas include Apartment Putra Ria, Brickfields, Bukit Bandaraya, Bukit Bangsar, Bukit Damansara, Bukit Persekutuan, Bukit Tunku, Damansara Heights, Damansara Town Centre, Idamansara, Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin, Kampung Attap, Kampung Padang Merbuk and Kuala Lumpur City Centre.

“The duration of the water supply recovery period differs depending on the location of the consumer’s premises and the water pressure at the distribution system.
