KUDOS to the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) for its efforts to find the source of the pink-coloured water flowing towards Sungai Kabul from a factory in Beranang on Jan 14 (“Luas issues yellow alert after pink-coloured discharge detected in Sg Kabul”, The Star, Jan 15; online at bit.ly/star_luas).
The polluted water flow, which stretched for 500m, would have impacted the Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant located 16km downstream. Luas’s efforts averted a possible shut down of water supply in Selangor which would affect thousands of users.
