KUALA LUMPUR, May 4 — An unscheduled water supply disruption is expected to occur in several areas around Bandar Bukit Puchong in the districts of Sepang and Petaling following an underground pipe burst in front of the Baiduri Court Apartment in Bandar Bukit Puchong 2.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) corporate communications chief Elina Baseri said the repair works could not be completed as scheduled by 10 pm last night as the burst pipe was more than 8 metres deep which required some extra work.
She said digging works had to be stopped due to heavy rain earlier during the day, leading to the delay.
"This burst pipe incident had initially caused water supply disruption in 40 areas, as announced in the Air Selangor application yesterday.
"However, as alternative water supply has been successfully channelled from other sources, this unscheduled water supply disruption has been reduced to 17 areas," she said in a statement yesterday.
Elina said the water supply was expected to be fully restored by 6.00 pm today (May 4).
Air Selangor has also mobilised tankers in Bandar Bukit Puchong to assist affected consumers, she added.
