KL folk to face water shortage

"KUALA LUMPUR: City folk have to brace themselves for a major water disruption in the next few days due to a pipe burst near the Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) Desa Rejang in Setapak Jaya yesterday evening.

The damage to the 1.2m-diameter pipe, supplying raw water from the Klang Gate Dam to the Bukit Nanas water treatment plant, would affect the entire water production for the city centre.

A Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) official said the Bukit Nanas treatment plant would not be able to meet the daily consumption of 136 million litres by 350,000 consumers in the city.

“We can expect some parts of the city centre to be affected until we are able to repair the damage,” the official said.

The areas affected are the Golden Triangle, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, Jalan Raja Chulan, Changkat Raja Chulan, Kampung Baru, Jalan Pudu, Jalan Perak, Jalan P. Ramlee, Jalan Kia Peng, Jalan Conlay, Jalan Ampang (from Lebuh Ampang to Jalan P. Ramlee) and Jalan Tong Shin. "
