Kuala Lumpur – Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) would like to inform of the shutdown of another water treatment plant, namely the Semenyih 2 WTP due to the increasing water level that has entered the raw water pump house.
Following the shutdown of this water treatment plant, an additional 70 areas in the Hulu Langat Region are experiencing unscheduled water supply disruption. Consumers can also obtain the list of affected areas from http://hentitugas.airselangor.com/ and the Air Selangor application.
For consumers’ information, the latest update for the water treatment plants that have been shutdown is as follows:
1. For Cheras Batu 11 WTP, operations have not yet started due to water overflow to the pump house.
2. For the Sg Langat WTP, the water supply production rate has been reduced due to high water turbidity and water overflow to the pump house.
3. For Langat 2 WTP, the emergency electricity closure at the Semantan intake is still being implemented.
The expected full operations time for all the water treatment plants is yet to be confirmed at this time. It is crucial for Air Selangor to ensure that all equipment at the water treatment plant is in good condition and can be operated without endangering the safety of Air Selangor’s onsite staff, especially those involving electricity.
A total of 63 water tankers is being mobilised in stages to the affected areas, with priority given to critical premises during the unscheduled water supply disruption. Air Selangor is seeking the consumers’ cooperation to practise social distancing and wear face masks while collecting the water supply from the water tankers.
Air Selangor will provide updates progressively from time to time through all mediums, especially the mass media. Consumers can also refer to all our official communication channels such as the Air Selangor application, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter or call the Air Selangor Contact Centre at 15300. Inquiries and complaints can also be submitted at the Help Centre via www.airselangor.com and the Air Selangor application.
