KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 5 ― Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said last night that the Sungai Selangor water treatment plants in Phases 1, 2 and 3 have restarted their operations in stages since 10.30pm last night.

“The plants will implement cleaning and flushing activities, and monitoring treated water quality to prevent any impant to users,” he posted briefly on his Twitter account.

 

The announcement came just hours after the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) said a fake message was spreading online that claimed all water treatment plants disrupted by pollution were back in operation.

It also rejected claims in the message that the chemical pollution of Sungai Gong has been fully contained.

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 on Thursday.

Water supply in the affected areas was disrupted following action to stop operations at the Sungai Selangor water treatment plants in Phases 1, 2 and 3, as well as Rantau Panjang due to pollution at the raw water source.

Chief executive of Air Selangor Suhaimi Kamaralzaman the water supply to around 1.2 million users will continue to be affected for another four days.
