Foul-smelling water flowing into Sg Skudai suspected to be sewage, says Johor DOE


JOHOR BARU: The black-coloured wastewater that emits a foul smell flowing into Sungai Skudai in Kampung Sepakat Baru is suspected to be sewage discharge from a nearby sewage treatment plant, said Johor Department of Environment (DOE) director Dr Mohd Famey Yusoff.

He said the initial investigation conducted by DOE officers yesterday found that the sewage plant experienced a power supply disruption that could have led to the release of sewage.
