SHAH ALAM, Feb 22 — No disruption to the water supply has been reported following an odour pollution incident at Sungai Kabul, Semenyih since Thursday.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Adam Saffian Ghazali said this is thanks to the swift action and integrated cooperation of various parties in responding to the issue.
Among other things, he said Air Selangor has mobilised a team to assist with cleanup works in the affected area, deployed several suction tankers to the contaminated site, and place oil pads and oil booms for control and clean-up purposes.
"This is part of Air Selangor’s support and assistance to the Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) and the state government.
"We will also further intensify raw water quality monitoring to ensure water treatment plant operations remain stable and under control.
"As an additional mitigation measure, the Raw Water Guarantee Scheme (SJAM) initiative and water supply diversion were activated to ensure system stability," he said in a statement posted on Facebook today.
Adam Saffian said Air Selangor remains committed to ensuring water supply security for its 9.62 million consumers.
"Air Selangor will continue to work closely with LUAS and monitor developments from time to time."
According to LUAS, cleanup operations at Sungai Kabul are being carried out around the clock, following the detection of odour pollution on February 19.
Manual cleaning is also being conducted to ensure the affected areas are free of any residues or pollutants that could pose a risk.
