Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (SYABAS) menafikan wujudnya unsur sabotaj dalam masalah bekalan air terbaru di negeri tersebut, sebaliknya mendakwa berlaku kekurangan sumber bekalan air yang meruncing.
Ketua Pegawai Operasi SYABAS Datuk Ir. Lee Miang Koi berkata, sumber bekalan air terjejas teruk kerana dua pam yang menyalurkan air ke wilayah Kuala Lumpur dan Gombak, iaitu pam Wangsa Maju dan Pudu Hulu rosak, tetapi sudah dibaiki dan beroperasi sejak 2 dan 3 Januari lalu.
“Bagi pam Pudu Hulu, ia telahpun beroperasi sejak 3 Januari melibatkan 18,000 akaun (pengguna) dan pulih sepenuhnya pada 6 Januari, sementara pam Wangsa Maju beroperasi pada tahap 180 juta liter sehari (JLH) sejak 2 Januari,” kata Lee pada sidang media dalam lawatan wartawan ke pam air Wangsa Maju hari ini.
Menurut Lee, kadar pengepaman terpaksa dihadkan kepada 180 JLH dari kadar biasa iaitu 210 JLH kerana kekurangan sumber bekalan air.
“Walaupun kedua-dua pam air sudah dibaiki, bekalan air masih lagi tidak mencukupi kerana sumber yang ada tidak cukup untuk menampung permintaan yang meningkat,” kata Lee lagi.
Lee berpendapat masalah air dapat diselesaikan sekiranya projek pembinaan loji penapisan air Langat 2 siap dan beroperasi.

Bernama:Water Crisis In Klang Valley Could Prolong Until Chinese New Year - Syabas
The water crisis in the Klang Valley, especially in Ampang and Cheras, is expected to continue up to the Chinese New Year celebration in February, according to Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas).
The water supply situation in both areas will be monitored closely and Syabas will update residents on the latest status on a daily basis, its executive chairman, Tan Sri Rozali Ismail, said.
He said Syabas had deployed technical and non-technical staff from various departments to assist the affected residents.
"It is our duty to supply residents with clean water and, since we cannot do so with pipes, we will distribute water using lorries and tankers. We will help them carry the water to their homes," he said.
Rozali was addressing about 200 Syabas staff at a briefing before their deployment to assigned areas, at the Syabas headquarters, here, today.

FreeMalaysiaToday:Put an end to the water crisis!
I was fairly annoyed when I was about to enter a restaurant and the waiter informed me that they were closed for the day due to water shortage. Right, this must be the supposed Selangor water shortage the media headlines have been screaming about for months.
For the past few days, various hotspots in Selangor saw their water supplies plummet due to a faulty water pump operated by Syabas (Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor) in its Wangsa Maju plant. It came without notice and as expected, everyone’s angry.
According to Selangor Menter Besar Khalid Ibrahim, it was due to Syabas’ negligence in fixing up the damaged water pump although it was aware of the problem for more than a year.
Now, I can’t say whether I can take this statement as a whole grain of truth but what I do know is that Syabas is Selangor’s only water distributor.

Top 10 detox foods

Whether you want to lose weight, feel more energised, improve your complexion or boost your mood, check out these top 10 foods to cleanse your body and boost your health.
Lemon
Lemons are a staple of many detox diets, and there is good reason for this. Firstly, lemons are packed with antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting disease-forming free-radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline effect on the body, meaning that it can help restore the body’s pH balance, benefitting the immune system. Try starting your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your system.

TheSun:S'gor state and federal govt dispute causes water troubles
An impasse between the Selangor state government and the federal government has escalated the water woes affecting almost 90,000 households in Gombak and KL.
Since Saturday, residents have been experiencing water cuts because a water pumping station at Wangsa Maju broke down.
Syabas claimed the breakdown was due to the pumping station operating beyond capacity since 2004 while frustrated residents have lashed out at the water operator for mismanagement of the situation.
Selangor state exco member Xavier Jayakumar said Syabas' poor maintenance led to the pumping station's failure.
"Based on our investigation, all five pumps, including two standby pumps, were not functioning," he said today.
He suggested the state government, through the Selangor water governance board (LUAS), take over the pumps should Syabas be unable to handle the water supply.

MalaysianInsider:Syabas cuai dan tidak bertanggungjawab — YB Dr Xavier Jayakumar
Kerajaan Negeri Selangor menyelar kecuaian Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas ) dalam menyelenggarakan rumah pam Wangsamaju sehingga menyebabkan gangguan air sekitar Ampang, Pandan, Jalan semarak , Ukay Heights, Cheras Baru dan kawasan-kawasan sekitarnya.
Dari siasatan pihak kerajaan, kesemua 5 unit pam air rosak di rumah pam termasuk 2 unit 'standby pump' turut rosak.
Keraguan bagaimana 2 unit 'standby pump' yang jarang-jarang diguna turut tidak berfungsi?
Ini jelas menunjukkan kecuaian pihak Syabas dalam menyelenggara secara berkala peralatan di bawah kendaliannya.
Kecuaian Syabas ini mrnyebabkan kepayahan kehidupan harian lebih 60 ribu penduduk kawasan terlibat.
Sekiranya Syabas tidak mampu menyelenggarakan rumah pam tersebut, kerajaan negeri tiada masalah melalui Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) untuk mengendalikan rumah pam tersebut.
Kerajaan menganggap kelalaian Syabas merupakan 'pure negligence and criminal in nature'.
Ini merupakan tindakan sabotaj Syabas bagi memburukkan imej Kerajaan Selangor

Bernama:Syabas salahkan Selangor punca tiada air
Kelewatan kerajaan Selangor melaksanakan pembangunan sistem pengepaman tambahan di rumah pam Wangsa Maju di sini, menjadi punca kepada masalah ketiadaan air yang menjejaskan lebih setengah juta penduduk ibu kota sejak seminggu lalu, dakwa Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas).
Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Syabas Datuk Ruslan Hassan berkata cadangan untuk membina sistem itu dikemukakan sejak 2009 dan pada Mac 2012, kerajaan Persekutuan meluluskan pelan pembangunan serta pinjaman untuk projek itu dibangunkan oleh Kerajaan Selangor.
“Tetapi sehingga kini, kita difahamkan projek ini masih di peringkat rundingan reka bentuk oleh Kerajaan Selangor dan dijangkakan projek itu akan mengambil masa setahun untuk disiapkan jika dilaksanakan dengan kadar ‘fast track’,” katanya kepada pemberita di sini, hari ini.
Beliau juga memperjelaskan cadangan untuk membangunkan sistem pengepaman dibuat pada 2009 selepas menyedari masalah kekurangan air akan berlaku ekoran rumah pam Wangsa Maju yang sedia ada telah beroperasi secara ‘overload’ dengan permintaan bekalan air yang meningkat sejak kebelakangan ini.
Rumah pam Wangsa Maju dengan kapasiti bentuk 136 Juta Liter Sehari (JLH) mula beroperasi sejak tahun 2004 di bawah pengurusan Perbadanan Urus Air Selangor Berhad (Puas) dan kebelakangan ini, kadar pengepaman ditingkatkan sehingga mencecah 200 JLH.
