LUAS acts fast to prevent shutdown of water treatment plants after pollution detected in Rawang's Sg Gong


As an immediate mitigation measure, biological treatment was sprayed at the affected area.

THE Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) acted swiftly to prevent any potential shutdown of water treatment plants (LRA) following the detection of odour pollution at Sungai Gong in Rawang, Selangor, on Wednesday (April 26).

An unapproved riverbank strengthening project was found to be the cause of the odour pollution, said state tourism, environment, green technology and Orang Asli affairs committee chairman Hee Loy Sian.
