PETALING JAYA: The Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant has resumed operations after samples tested at its intake point recorded 0 TON (Threshold Odour Number) three times in a row, but will take 12 hours before water supply can be distributed to users, says Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor).

Its corporate communications head Elina Baseri said this was because the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant had only started pumping raw water for the raw water pipe cleaning works and water treatment tanks.
