SHAH ALAM, July 25 — The water supply recovery to seven areas in the Klang Valley affected by the recent unscheduled water disruption has now reached 98.4 per cent as of 6pm, said Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd.
It said the duration of this disruption and recovery in the affected areas would vary depending on the location of the consumers' premises and the water pressure at the distribution system.
"Air Selangor would like to advise consumers who have and will receive their water supply to let the tap flow until it is clear before using," Air Selangor said in a statement via a Facebook post.
The company added that it hopes that consumers who have received their water supply will use water prudently to ensure that the recovery process in the affected areas runs smoothly.
"Air Selangor will continue mobilising water tankers to critical premises such as hospitals, clinics, dialysis centres and funeral service centres.
"Alternative water supply assistance has also been provided at seven local service centres," it said.

The water supply disruption was believed to have been caused by discharge from an acrylic materials-processing factory in Rawang. A chemical leak from one of its storage tanks flowed into drains and subsequently into Sungai Kuang, affecting several other rivers as well.
The odour pollution resulted in the temporary suspension of the Rantau Panjang WTP and the Sungai Selangor Phases 1, 2, and 3 WTPs, as well as disrupting the water supply to seven regions in the Klang Valley.
The areas affected include Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Hulu Selangor, and Kuala Selangor.
