KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Work to repair a burst pipe in Sungai Way, near the cable bridge along the Federal Highway/Damansara-Puchong Highway (LDP) intersection, is expected to be done by 9pm.
According to a Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd spokesperson, as at 4pm, 60 per cent of repairs on the 600mm asbestos cement pipe had been completed.
“The issue was caused by a burst old pipe. Repair work began at 9.45pm on and is expected to be done by 9pm.
“The delay was due to the damaged pipeline being quite long, about 25m, and the presence of multiple utility pipelines at the site, which made excavation challenging,” the spokesperson said when contacted by Bernama.
The burst pipe caused water supply disruptions in several areas, including SS 7, Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, PJU 1A Kelana Idaman, SS 3, Hyatt Saujana/Saujana Glenmarie, Jalan U1/13, Citta Mall, and Taman Perindustrian Hicom Glenmarie.
Air Selangor deployed nine water tankers for residents in the affected areas at 8am yesterday, and will continue until repairs are complete and supply is restored.
