An unscheduled water outage is affecting parts of Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, Petaling, and Sepang districts in Selangor State and Putrajaya as of the afternoon of May 3. The water agency Air Selangor attributed the disruptions, which began 15:00 May 3, to pollution incidents at water treatment plants. The timeline of the recovery works is unclear. The company said it has deployed water tanks to the affected locations.
Some business disruptions are possible, especially for companies that rely heavily on municipal water to maintain operations.

Stock up on drinking water. Confirm alternative water supplies for business operations. Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Minimize nonessential water use throughout the outage. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
