Sealing manholes in sewerage network


Recurring problem: Residents of USJ 4 Subang Jaya collecting water from Syabas’ static water pipe at USJ 3A/1.

PETALING JAYA: Manholes of the sewerage network in Bandar Bukit Mahkota will be permanently sealed to prevent them from being used as a point for illegal dumping.

The dumping of scheduled waste into manholes in the lowly populated Bandar Bukit Mahkota had forced the closure of the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant twice in three months, affecting more than 1.5 million residents in several districts.
