KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 3 — A total of 1,292 areas in the Klang Valley, Petaling, Klang/Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak and Kuala Langat have been experiencing unscheduled water supply disruption since 10am today.

Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) corporate communication head Elina Baseri  said water supply in the affected areas was disrupted following action to stop operation of the Sungai Selangor water treatment plants at  Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Rantau Panjang due to pollution at the raw water source.

Action had been taken to address the problem, but as at 11.30am, pollution was still detected in Sungai Selangor, she said in a statement today.

She said  Air Selangor is providing water supply to the affected areas through its mobile water tankers, with priority given to critical premises such as hospitals and dialysis centers.
