KUALA LUMPUR, April 16 (Bernama) -- Most of the areas affected by an
unscheduled water supply disruption in six regions of the Syarikat Bekalan Air
Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) have received their supply as usual.
However, several areas in the Petaling and Klang regions were still
experiencing supply disruption as the supply distribution system had yet to
stabilise because the water levels at the major reservoirs had dropped
significantly earlier.
Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) executive director Abdul
Halem Mat Som said among the areas in the Petaling region that were still
affected were Bukit Jalil, Sri Petaling, Kuchai Lama, Jalan Klang Lama and Salak
Selatan,
"For the Klang region, the areas affected are Bukit Raja, Sementa, Pelabuhan
Klang and Kapar," he said in a statement, here today.
The unscheduled water supply disruptions involved Petaling, Klang, Gombak,
Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Selangor and Sabak Bernam due to the reduction in the
production of treated water at the water treatment plants due to a faulty
transformer.
