       Water supply to the affected areas was disrupted following a burst water pipe near Simpang 3 LBJ, Jalan B48, Kg. Chinchang, Salak Tinggi, Sepang.

       Elina noted that that emergency repair works were carried out immediately by Air Selangor with 29% of remedial work completed as of 6am on Tuesday morning.

       "Air Selangor’s onsite staff were faced with some challenges as the burst pipe is located near the river.

       "As such, the process of strengthening the river banks must be conducted first before the emergency repair work can be implemented," she added.
