00:00 With many enjoying the school holidays and a long weekend, some may have missed the news
00:07 about the impending water disruptions across the Klang Valley.
00:11 Despite months of advance notice, many residents and food stall owners were unprepared for
00:16 the three-day water cut from Wednesday to Friday.
00:19 "The news said that the flood was coming, but it's not certain yet.
00:26 They put up notice on the side of the lift, saying there was a water cut.
00:33 We don't know yet.
00:37 As a businessman, I'm worried.
00:38 This is my business.
00:40 If it's closed for two or three days, it'll be difficult for us."
00:43 "I haven't received any news from the union or the Klang Pemaju.
00:51 They said there was no water in the flood.
00:53 I haven't prepared anything yet."
00:56 "We've been here for 24 years.
00:59 I think there was no water for two days.
01:04 There was water on the third day."
01:06 "I don't know, but people told me that the water was cut on Wednesday.
01:12 It's difficult to store water on Wednesday.
01:18 Our house is not that big, but we have a water tank.
01:22 We have two children, and we can use the water tank for one day.
01:26 If there's a notice, we can save a little."
01:31 60-year-old Nur Afendi, however, said he took steps to manage the water cut after learning
01:36 about them from a website.
01:38 "I saw the website and it said there was a water cut.
01:43 I usually live in this flat.
01:45 We prepare a few buckets of water to store for a few days.
01:51 If possible, we can speed up the process.
01:52 It's a pleasure for us.
01:53 Everyone is happy.
01:54 They are happy, and we are happy."
01:55 IS Language stated that the maintenance works are expected to be completed by Wednesday
02:02 at 7pm, with water supply being restored in stages starting from Thursday at 3am.
02:08 Critical premises such as hospitals, clinics, dialysis centre and funeral parlours will
02:13 be prioritised.
02:14 For updates on the scheduled water supply disruption, the public can check IS Language's
02:19 official communication channels.
