Air Selangor has announced the temporary shutdown of Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant (Sg. Semenyih WTP) and Bukit Tampoi Water Treatment Plant (Bukit Tampoi WTP) due to an odour pollution incident at the Jenderam Hilir Raw Water Pump Station.
This temporary shutdown will affect a total of 472 areas in 5 Air Selangor regions, namely:
- Petaling (172 areas)
- Hulu Langat (54 areas)
- Sepang (196 areas)
- Putrajaya (23 areas)
- Kuala Langat (27 areas)
The affected areas are expected to experience unscheduled water disruptions at 7am today (24 December 2022).
According to New Straits Times, the odour pollution was caused by an accident which involved a container truck carrying the essence of perfume oil on the Elite Highway near Serenia, Negeri Sembilan.
The spill flowed into a river that connects with Sungai Semenyih.
Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad has assured that both water treatment plants will be back in operation as soon as possible.
