Kuala Lumpur – Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) would like to inform on the temporary shutdown of Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant (Sg Semenyih WTP) and Bukit Tampoi Water Treatment Plant (Bukit Tampoi WTP) following the odour pollution incident at the Jenderam Hilir Raw Water Pump Station intake.
Following the incident, Air Selangor has mobilised 85 water tankers to the affected areas, with priority given to critical premises such as hospitals, clinics, dialysis centres and funerals during the unscheduled water supply disruption.
At the same time, Air Selangor has also conducted sampling tests regularly to measure the quality of water that has been polluted due to effluents. A joint effort to tackle this odour pollution incident is being carried out by Air Selangor together with Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS), Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN) and Department of Environment (DOE) to allow the Sg Semenyih WTP and Bukit Tampoi WTP to begin operation as soon as possible.
Air Selangor will provide updates progressively from time to time through all mediums, especially the mass media.
