WATER EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK! Pulau Ketam high and dry again

WATER EVERYWHERE BUT NOT A DROP TO DRINK! Pulau Ketam high and dry again
PETALING JAYA - For the second time this year, Pulau Ketam folk have no running water.
Since Saturday, the islanders have been victims of unscheduled water disruption due to a burst pipe caused by underwater drilling by a third party. The pipe was recently repaired.
The islanders have had no water from June 21 to July 11 and now, once again, since Saturday.
In a statement, Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) corporate communications and public affairs assistant general manager Priscilla Alfred said the break at the pipe alignment was detected when they were carrying out a water supply distribution test to Pulau Ketam and Sungai Lima.
"Following the finding, we deployed our divers to detect where the burst was before carrying out the repair work," she added.
She said they will report to the relevant authorities including the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) of their finding and the actions that can be initiated against the third party under Section 122, of the Water Services Industry Act 2006.
While Syabas regrets the incident, Priscilla said they have already taken proactive measures to supply bottled water to the islanders using special chartered freight boats.
"As of now, a total of 57,500 bottles of bottled water have been distributed to residents in Kampung Sungai Lima and Pulau Ketam through local service centre in both Pulau Ketam and Sungai Lima," said Priscilla.
She urged the islanders to use water prudently while the relevant authorities expedite repairing the burst pipe to resume treated water supply. -Sundaily
