KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 25): Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) has increased its capital expenditure allocation for its non-revenue water (NRW) reduction programmes this year to RM293 million from RM255 million in 2020.
Of the amount, RM170 million will be used to replace all old pipes and RM16 million to replace old and damaged meters, said its chief executive officer Suhaimi Kamaralzaman.
In a statement today, he said Air Selangor has successfully brought down the NRW rate to 28.6% last year, versus 29.7% in 2019.
He said this achievement exceeded the target rate of 29.2% set by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN), despite the implementation of the Movement Control Order to curb the Covid-19 pandemic.
