Swift action by LUAS prevents possible disruption to Selangor water treatment plant

THE SELANGOR Water Management Board (LUAS) took swift action following the detection of oil traces in Sungai Durian in Serendah, which prevented a possible disruption to one of Selangor’s key water treatment plants.

“Traces of oil were found in Sungai Durian at around 11am on Wednesday (April 17). LUAS then activated the Yellow Code, based on the Emergency Manual for Water-Based Pollution, for immediate prevention/ mitigation actions and comprehensive investigation,” Selangor public health and environment committee chairman Jamaliah Jamaluddin said in a statement.
