Syabas to step up water supply recovery in rationed areas

As the Klang Valley water supply crisis continues and water rationing exercises are in place, Srikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) has promised to improve their performance in resuming water on time to areas affected by rationing.

Syabas Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Department assistant general manager Priscilla Alfred said monitoring would be carried out in the affected zones. 

She said delays were being caused by some rationed areas being on high elevations, or situated at the end of the water supply chain, in addition to problems with internal pumping systems or pumping stages.

“Syabas will carry out improvements specifically in the time of the recovery of supply in all areas involved as scheduled, from time to time,” she said in a statement.

Syabas is conducting water rationing exercises affecting more than 2 million people in the Klang Valley, Selangor and Putrajaya. Under the water rationing plan, residents are to receive two days of water supply, followed by two days without. These water rationing exercises are estimated to continue until the end of March.
