THE latest odour pollution at Sungai Sembah, Selangor, which caused the temporary suspension of the Rantau Panjang water treatment plant (LRA) was likely caused by residual pollution along the riverbank or sediment around the water inlets from a previous incident, said the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS).
“On Nov 18, the LRA Rantau Panjang was shut down after odour pollution with a rating of one TON (threshold odour number) was detected at the water intake of the river.
