Air Selangor has announced an unscheduled water supply disruption at 463 locations in the Klang Valley. The Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant (LRA Sg Semenyih) was shut down after odour pollution was detected at Jenderam Hilir Raw Water Pump Station at 11.10am this morning.
Air Selangor and Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) are currently working together to identify the source of the raw water pollution along Sungai Semenyih and its tributaries.
As a result of the treatment plant shutdown, residents in 463 areas which include Petaling (172 areas), Hulu Langat (54 areas), Sepang (194 areas), Putrajaya (23 areas) and Kuala Langat (20 areas) are expected to face water disruption. According to the statement, the water works company has activated its Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to provide emergency water supply assistance to the affected consumers.
So far Air Selangor has not provided a detailed breakdown of the affected location and estimated time of water supply restoration. Air Selangor is expected to provide more updates through its official social channels including Facebook and Twitter.
The last major Klang Valley water disruption due to a contamination-related incident happened sometime in December last year which affected over 1,200 areas. The time required to restore the full water supply will depend on how soon the water treatment plants can resume operations.
