SHAH ALAM, 7 Apr: Several Water Treatment Plants (WTP) using raw water from Sungai Selangor have and are increasing their respective production of treated water following the increase of water flow from the river due to rain over the past few days.
According to the Selangor Water Supply Company (SYABAS) today, these WTPs are the Phase 1 Sungai Selangor WTP, the Phase 2 Sungai Selangor WTP, the Phase 3 Sungai Selangor WTP, the Sungai Rasa WTP and the Rantau Panjang WTP.
“The increase of water supply has been channelled by SYABAS to areas affected by the rationing, however this situation is temporary.
“Hence, consumers in areas affected by the rationing have been urged to always be prudent and to keep adequate supply of water from time to time,” SYABAS said in a statement.
SYABAS also said that the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) informed that the water level at the Sungai Selangor dam is still low.
In relation to that, consumers in these areas, including areas not involved in the rationing, have been to be prudent in using water.
“Consumers are also reminded to not act against the law merely to get water, such as damaging distribution pipes.
This act is in violation of the Water Supply Industry Act 2006 and may incur a high penalty,” said SYABAS.
