Chemical shortage will pose disruption to operation of water treatment plants, says water association


PETALING JAYA: The potential issue of chemical shortage due to the implementation of lockdown restrictions on factory operations need to be addressed so that they do not affect plant operations, says the Malaysian Water Association (MWA).

Its president Dr Mohmad Asari Daud (pic) said it is envisaged that the lack of supply of chemicals will pose disruption to the operation of water treatment plants nationwide if the demand for such materials could not be met.
