Water supply disruption for 12,000 households in Gombak

KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 12,000 consumer accounts in the Gombak region experienced unscheduled water supply disruption following a failure at the Wangsa Maju pump house system when one of the four pumps broke down on Saturday.

Assistant general manager of Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) Priscilla Alfred said in a statement Sunday that usually the four pumps would operate to supply water to the consumers following the high demand in the Kuala Lumpur and Gombak regions.

Among the areas that faced supply disruptions were AU1, AU2, AU3, AU4, AU5, Taman Sri Keramat, Keramat, Desa Setapak, Wangsa Melawati, Taman Sri Rampai, Taman Permata, Tasik Tambahan, Taman Ampang Campuran and Ampang Tasik Permai.

Syabas expected the water supply to all the affected areas to be resumed in stages until Monday night depending on the capability of the system at the Wangsa Maju Pump House.

Customers requiring assistance can call the Customer Service Centre (PUSPEL) at the toll-free line 1-800-88-5252.

Up to noon Sunday, Syabas received 412 complaints about the lack of water and 67 complaints on low water pressure in the Gombak region. - Bernama
