IWK to close 500 plants in Klang Valley

Building in progress: Workers adding another platform to the aeration tanks where wastewater is being treated at the Section 23, Shah Alam sewage treatment plant.

MORE than 500 sewage treatment plants (STP) in the Klang Valley will be decommissioned as part of Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd’s (IWK) effort in rationalising its efficiency.

Out of this, 80 STPs will be upgraded to centralised plants to cater for the growing population in the Klang Valley.
