LETTER | Increase standby spare water capacity to prevent disruptions

LETTER | Selangor residents are, unfortunately, too familiar with water cuts. Since June 2019, there have been at least 15 water disruptions, mostly due to contamination of raw water source resulting in the closure of water treatment plants (WTP).
Many have resorted to installing additional water tanks in their homes in the hope that the additional storage capacity in their homes will help them tide over the supply outage.
Many other consumers who cannot afford these additional storage tanks are left to cope with the meagre supply from the Pengurusan Air Selangor’s (AIS) mobile tankers, which are usually mobilised long after the supply dries up.
