The water treatment plants of Rantau Panjang, Sungai Selangor Phase 1 (SSP1), Sungai Selangor Phase 2 (SSP2), and Sungai Selangor Phase 3 (SSP3) have since resumed their operations after a temporary shutdown caused by an odour pollution incident at the Rantau Panjang WTP Intake.
Air Selangor said clean and safe treated water supply began to be distributed in stages beginning at 6.30am today.
“The duration of the water supply recovery in the affected areas will vary, depending on the distance and location of the consumers’ premises,” it said in a statement.
Alternative assistance through water tankers will be provided to the affected areas during this unscheduled disruption, with priority for critical premises like hospitals, clinics, dialysis centres, and funerals.
“Air Selangor will provide updates progressively from time to time through all mediums, especially the mass media.
Yesterday at 9.45pm, a diesel-like odour was detected at the intake of all four WTPs, necessitating a temporary shutdown. By 1.30am today, raw water began to be pumped into the Rantau Panjang WTP and into the SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 WTPs by 2.15am, after a threshold odour number of zero was recorded three times in a row.
Effected areas were Klang, Shah Alam and Gombak.
