KUALA LUMPUR: Pengurusan Air Selangor (Air Selangor) is now preparing for the treatment process to commence at the Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant so that safe and clean treated water can be distributed to consumers.

Air Selangor corporate communication chief Elina Baseri said the measure was taken after zero TON (threshold odour number) level readings were recorded three times consecutively in Sungai Semenyih at 6am today.

She said 463 areas in five Air Selangor regions experienced unscheduled water supply disruptions following the shut down of the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant yesterday.

The five regions were Petaling (172 areas), Hulu Langat (54 areas), Sepang (194 areas), Putrajaya (23 areas) and Kuala Langat (20 areas).

“A total of 94 tanker lorries have been mobilised to the affected areas and critical premises during the supply disruption.

“Air Selangor is taking all measures to minimise the impact of the disruption on consumers,” she said in a statement today, adding that developments on the disruption would be announced from time to time through all mediums, especially the mass media.

  2. Speechless....disaster.
    Once the Kulim airport construction starts in earnest, Penang is likely to Face regular crises as well. The airport is 100 m from the Sungai Muda. In addition to usual construction dirt and pollution, Airports use a lot of different chemicals in their daily operations, and accidents are bound to happen.

  3. These 'techies' r either blurred/badly trained/buat tak tau or just go on their usual merry-go-round OT claims, even during this trying pandemic time!

    Source polluted DOESN'T necessarily lead to supply condemnation iff these f*ckers know how the water treatment chains-of-command WORKS.

    These r multistages processes where each individual stage can be isolated & bypassed for service &/or maintainence. Such schemes r inbuilt into the design by professional to cater for untoward incident of source or inter-stage pollution detection.

    Moreover, the final supply to consumers r channeled through a last stage storage pond which r strictly controlled.

    Only if this storage pond is been contaminated then the whole treatment plant has to shutdown for decontamination.

    When this happened THEN there can ONLY be next-to-nothing monitoring procedure.

    & these r the common reason been given by syabas!

    IT TELLS how rotten IS that syabas management for a critical national service!
