Klang Valley folk had to go 45 days without water in 2020, with many having to line up for water from trucks.
Marimuthu pointed out that there were 29 water cuts in the Klang Valley last year alone, and with each water cut lasting a minimum of one and a half days. Consumers in the Klang Valley had to deal with 45 days without water in 2020 – but have still had to pay their water bill in full. “In the UK, if there is a planned disruption, water operators have to reimburse if their water is not back on within 48 hours. If it is a planned disruption, the water has to be back on in 12 hours.
In September, nearly 1.2 million consumers in the Klang Valley were affected by water cuts after four treatment plants ceased operations due to pollution from a factory. The Fomca president also compared Malaysia to Singapore, which he said was a “leader” in water issues and maintenance and hosts a well-attended international water conference every year – the Singapore International Water Week.
