Water running again in three major Johor districts

KOTA TINGGI: The Sungai Johor water treatment plant here resumed operations at 9am Friday a day after it was closed due to oil spill.

The plant, and another one in Semangar, were closed on Thursday after the oil spill was detected along Sungai Johor, causing major water supply disruption to some 500,000 consumers in Johor Baru, Kulaijaya and Nusajaya.

Syarikat Air Johor corporate communications chief Jamaluddin Jamal said the Semangar water treatment plant was still closed as the water still reeked of diesel odour.

He said the public will receive water supply in stages from the Sungai Johor water treatment plant throughout today.
