KUALA LUMPUR: Air Selangor has confirmed that all four water treatment plants, which were temporarily halted after an odour pollution incident was detected, have resumed operations today.

Air Selangor added that safe treated water is being distributed to consumers in stages.
"As of 6 am today, water supply recovery in the affected areas has reached 9.9 per cent.
"It is expected to reach approximately 40 per cent by 8am tomorrow and 90 per cent later on the same day.
"Full recovery is anticipated by 8 am on 26 July," Air Selangor said in a statement today.It added that the duration of the water supply disruption and recovery will vary depending on the location of consumers' premises and the water pressure within the distribution system.

The water disruption was caused by an odour pollution incident at Sungai Kundang and Sungai Sembah.
