‘Shutdowns due to high level of pollutants’

PETALING JAYA: Frequent shutdown of water treatment plants are inevitable if effluent from factories, farms and commercial premises contain high level of pollutants, the Environment and Water Ministry says.

“Even cleaning activities at factories, plants and livestock pens could pollute water sources if the wastewater treatment facilities are not available at the premises, ” its secretary-general Datuk Seri Zaini Ujang said in his Facebook post.
