Elina said alternative supply of water through public taps and local service centres is still available for the affected consumers.
Air Selangor advised consumers to comply with the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) standard operating procedure when fetching water from tanker lorries, local service centres and public taps.
Water supply was disrupted yesterday after the detection of pollution of the raw water in Sungai Selangor, which triggered the shutdown of the Rantau Panjang Water Treatment Plant and the Sungai Selangor water treatment plants Phase 1, 2 and 3. – BERNAMA
