Restructuring of water services vital

THE year began with statements that Putrajaya will invoke Section 114 of WSIA 2006 Act to temporarily take over Selangor’s water assets, management and concessions following its failure to restructure the water supply services in the state.

Last year there were problems in water supply in Selangor ranging from dry spells to the Sungai Selangor oil spill. During Chinese New Year, major water disruptions occurred in several places in Hulu Langat and Kuala Langat due to ammonium contamination at Sungai Langat.
