Water from Pahang not a swift solution


KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal to channel raw water from Pahang to existing water treatment plants in Selangor is feasible but a solution to the water woes will not come swiftly as hoped and expected by consumers.

Malaysian Water Association president Syed Mohamad Alhabshi said moving raw water via the almost-completed tunnel under the Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Transfer Project without waiting for the Langat 2 treatment plant is feasible only if the existing Langat water treatment plant is upgraded to treat the additional water from Pahang.
