Air Selangor App now lets users report leaks in real time
He said the improved mobile application now features a 'Report Leaks' function, allowing users to report leaking or burst pipes, faulty meters, and illegal connections in real time.
'This initiative aims to reduce the Non-Revenue Water (NRW) rate and ensure more efficient water management,' he said in a statement today.
He said the Air Selangor 2.0 app was revealed during the MADANI Smart Water Campaign launched by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof earlier today.
Adam Saffian added that the app also includes a water usage monitoring feature through the Litres per Capita per Day (LCD) indicator, allowing consumers to assess and manage their daily water consumption.
'They can compare their consumption against the benchmark recommended by the National Water Services Commission (SPAN), which is 160 litres per day, and receive water-saving tips tailored to their household profile,' he said.
According to Adam Saffian, Air Selangor has implemented multiple digital initiatives as part of its sustainability commitment to promoting smart water usage among consumers.
On the MADANI Smart Water Campaign conducted by SPAN and the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, he said it is a national initiative to nurture prudent water usage among the public to ensure water supply sustainability.
He said the campaign aligns with the memorandum of collaboration signed between Air Selangor and Monsta Studios Sdn Bhd in April to bolster efforts to raise water-saving awareness among the younger generation.
The three-year collaboration aims to implement more creative programmes and activities involving the younger generation to raise awareness about water conservation from an early age, he added.

SPAN approves RM7.7 billion for 82 water projects nationwide
KUALA LUMPUR: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) has approved RM7.7 billion in capital expenditure for 82 water service improvement projects under the tariff setting mechanism (TSM) for the second implementation period. Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof stated these projects aim to enhance water service quality for consumers. The projects include 23 for adequate water supply, 20 for water quality improvement, 20 for reducing non-revenue water, 16 for distribution system upgrades, and three for related matters. Fadillah noted Penang, Selangor, and Johor have the best-performing water companies based on key performance indicators. He added Perlis, Kedah, and Kelantan remain below satisfactory standards in water service performance. During the Dewan Rakyat session, Fadillah addressed concerns about tariff adjustments under TSM TP2, effective from August 2025. He assured the ministry will prioritise minimising public burden, especially for the B40 income group. The ministry will focus on improving supply reliability and reducing complaints in top-performing states. Fadillah emphasised the need to address non-revenue water (NRW), which exceeds 50% in some states. He highlighted that half of treated water is lost before reaching consumers due to NRW. The ministry is introducing grant schemes to help states reduce NRW and conserve treated water. Efforts are underway to accelerate the replacement of ageing pipes nationwide to curb water loss. - Bernama

DPM Fadillah: SPAN approves RM7.7b capex for 82 water projects
KUALA LUMPUR — The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) has approved capital expenditure (capex) for 82 water service improvement projects nationwide under the tariff setting mechanism (TSM) for the second implementation period (TP2) totalling RM7.7 billion. Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof (picture) said the approved projects are to ensure that state water supply companies can provide quality water services to consumers. Of the 82 projects involved, 23 are to ensure an adequate water supply, 20 to enhance water quality, 20 to reduce non-revenue water, 16 to improve distribution systems and three for other related matters. 'If we look at the performance of the water companies in previous years, based on set key performance indicators (KPI), overall, it can be said that the companies that have achieved the best levels are in Penang, Selangor and Johor. 'Meanwhile, others are at a satisfactory level, and three are less satisfactory or did not meet the standards – Perlis, Kedah, and Kelantan,' he said during the minister's question time in the Dewan Rakyat today. He was responding to a supplementary question from Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa (BN-Tampin) who asked about the ministry's steps to ensure that the water tariff adjustment under TSM for TP2, effective from Aug 1, 2025, would not burden the public, especially the B40 income group. Fadillah said the ministry will focus on ensuring that the three states with the best KPIs guarantee supply reliability and reduce public complaints. 'So whatever we do, we will focus on the people so that the increase in tariff will not be burdensome, especially for domestic users,' he said. Meanwhile, Fadillah said the ministry is currently focusing on assisting state governments and utility companies at the state level in addressing the issue of non-revenue water (NRW), which affects the country's water supply sector. He said NRW has exceeded 50 per cent in some states, with half of the treated water being lost before it reaches the consumer. 'In my view, the NRW rate is the highest because there are states with over 50 per cent (of NRW). If we focus on treatment plants only, 50 per cent of whatever amount of water we treat will be lost. 'That is why two categories have been introduced – one is given a grant, and the other is a matching grant – because if (the rate of) NRW can be reduced, this will help to reduce the loss of treated water,' he said. He said the ministry is also evaluating the most effective approach to expedite replacing old pipes nationwide to address the loss of treated water. — BERNAMA

Govt will ensure water utilities meet targets after tariff adjustments
KUALA LUMPUR: The government is taking robust steps to ensure state water utility companies meet operational and infrastructure improvement targets following water tariff adjustments, says Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. The Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister added that the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) plays a crucial role in assisting state-level utilities by regulating and considering applications for tariff increases. ALSO READ: Water rate hike to benefit companies in sector "To ensure a reliable supply of clean water, operational and capital expenditure costs are the main issues faced by water supply companies," said Fadillah during the Minister's Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Aug 7). He was responding to a question by Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa (Barisan-Tampin) about the monitoring and auditing mechanisms for additional revenue from water tariff adjustments and actions against operators failing to meet KPIs post-adjustment. Fadillah explained that many companies struggle to cover these costs due to low tariff rates, prompting regular tariff reviews every three years. He added that all states, except Perak, submitted applications for tariff adjustments, which SPAN approved based on specific justifications. ALSO READ: Anwar questions double standards over water tariff hikes Fadillah emphasised that these adjustments come with stringent Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that companies must meet. "In cases where KPIs are not met, operators can face penalties under the law, including fines and imprisonment," he said. He added that before any legal action is taken, SPAN will issue a warning to non-compliant companies, granting them six months to fulfil the KPIs. He highlighted the importance of performance-based licensing, noting that water utility licences are reviewed every five years, with good performers having their licences extended for the full term. 'Conversely, poor performers face shorter extensions and, in severe cases, non-renewal of their licences. "If a company consistently fails to meet KPI standards, their licence may not be renewed, and the state government will need to appoint a more capable operator," Fadillah said. Last month, SPAN received applications from service operators in 10 states, including Penang, Perlis, Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johor, and Pahang. Earlier this month, households using between 20 to 35 cubic metres (m3) of water monthly in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya will now pay RM1.62/m3, an increase of 30sen effective September 1 this year.
