Thanks to the increased rainfall in recent days, several areas in the Klang Valley will enjoy uninterrupted water supply for a short time.
Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Berhad (Syabas) said the increased rain had helped dilute the ammonia levels in the water supply of the Bukit Tampoi and Batu 11 Cheras water treatment plants.
Rainwater accumulating in rivers had also helped other water treatment plants in Selangor to increase their production rate.
Syabas communications and peublic affairs assistant general manager Priscilla Alfred warned the public, however, that the situation was far from stable: the ammonia levels in the Langat river were still uncertain, and the water levels in the Sungai Selangor dam – which serves 60% of all Selangor water consumers – were still low.
Consumers and residents in areas affected by rationing are still advised to conserve their water supplies.
Water rationing measures are expected to continue until April 30.
