The Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) and Air Selangor took quick action on Monday (Oct 9) to prevent prolonged water supply disruptions in the state.

State Public Health and Environment Committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said, in a statement Tuesday (Oct 10), that Luas received information from Air Selangor about a diesel-like odour measuring 3 TON (Threshold Odour Number) at the Rantau Panjang Water Treatment Plant (WTP) inlet at 11.15pm on Monday, despite static monitoring by Luas at the nearby Sungai Sembah and Sungai Selangor reading 0 TON 15 minutes earlier, at 11pm on Monday.
