Worrisome news for Malaysians yesterday (October 18th), as we recorded our highest-ever daily tally for new COVID-19 cases - 871.

And for Selangor residents, the pandemic is only one of many things on their list of problems, as water woes continue.

Air Selangor has once again released news of water pollution, which was detected early this morning (October 19th) at 2:00am.

Henti tugas Loji Rawatan Air Sungai Selangor Fasa 1, Fasa 2, Fasa 3 dan Rantau Panjang terpaksa dilaksanakan berikutan pencemaran sumber air mentah telah dikesan di Sungai Selangor.

This unscheduled water cut affects several areas, including Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak and Kuala Langat.

And yes, today’s incident is a completely different incident from that of two days ago, when Air Selangor announced it’s conducting pipeworks.

It’s unclear just how long this water cut is going to last, and if Saturday’s pipeworks will affect it, but here’s the latest update on that:

SIARAN MEDIA: STATUS TERKINI PELAN PEMULIHAN BEKALAN AIR DI WILAYAH PETALING, GOMBAK, KLANG/SHAH ALAM, KUALA LUMPUR DAN HULU SELANGOR

Let’s hope Air Selangor will get the water running again sooner rather than later…
