Reconnecting SYABAS Water Supply, a trip to Kuala Kubu Bharu

Had to reconnect water supply on one of the properties being managed at Bukit Beruntung. Tenant did not promptly pay the water bills and a letter of disconnection came shortly and water supply was cut off. The letter of disconnection came on the same day just before the water supply was cut of.



For the area of Bukit Sentosa, Bukit Beruntung, the nearest SYABAS (Water utility office) is at Kuala Kubu Bharu or KKB as called by the locals. KKB is around 20kms from Bukit Beruntung town. It's a gateway town to Fraser's Hill. Lots of people flock to this place on weekends for a short outing.

To fix the problem, had to drive all the way to the KKB office, then paid a reconnection fee of RM 70 plus the outstanding arrears. Was told by counter staff water will be reconnected after 4PM. Part of the reconnection fee goes to the company affiliated plumber to connect back the water meter.

The bad part was the place is really out of town and far. The good part was there's ample parking (free some more) around and not many people in the office so service was quite fast.

Address of the KKB SYABAS office is :
Jalan Bukit Kerajaan, 44000, Kuala Kubu Baru, Selangor

Their hotline is 1800-88-5252. This line is crazy hard to get through so I suggest just go directly to the office if possible to get everything sorted out. I'm not sure if these kind of stuff can be done online or not but it's very inconvenient at the moment.
