KUALA LUMPUR: Water supply was disrupted in various areas in Hulu Langat and Petaling beginning 11pm Friday when a Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) cable that supplied electricity to the raw water treatment plant in Sungai Semenyih was damaged.

Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) in a statement Saturday said the company had taken immediate action by chanelling water from the Sungai Selangor Phase 3 and the Sungai Langat plants to reduce the number of areas affected.

While in Petaling, areas affected were Bandar Puchong Jaya, Kinrara, Bandar Puteri, Taman Perindustrian Kinrara, Taman Bukit Kinrara, Bukit Serdang, Kampung Muhibbah and Serdang Raya.

Syabas' Customer Service Centre (Puspel) had received 243 complaints in the Petaling area and 135 in the Hulu Langat area.
