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.
