A total of 667 areas will be the first group to receive water supply between afternoon 5 September to midnight 7 September with an estimated 51.6% recovery.

The third group with the remaining 156 areas will reach a full recovery from midnight 8 September to morning 9 September, Air Selangor's corporate communications head Elina Baseri said in a statement.
"Efforts to stabilise the water supply distribution system are in place in order to accelerate the process of restoring water supply to affected areas.

Urging patience from the affected consumers, Air Selangor said that the process of restoring water supply depends on several factors
Among the factors, it listed:
- Water pressure
- Terrain factors
- Pipe alignment
"Air Selangor is always committed to providing the best service to all users. We thank you for your patience and support in ensuring that the current water supply restoration process goes smoothly," it said.
Prior to this, all four water treatment plants, that were affected since 3 September, resumed their operations in stages since last night
The four affected water treatment plants ― Sungai Selangor in Phases 1, 2 and 3, and Rantau Panjang — restarted operations last night at around 10.30pm and were undergoing washing and flushing activities.
