KUALA LUMPUR: LUAS and Air Selangor informed that odour pollution was detected near the Saujana housing area in Rawang late last night.
Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) in a statement informed that water samples from Sungai Kundang near the area recorded a reading of 4 TON.
"Early investigation found that a water catchment next to a drain, located near an Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) sewage treatment plant in Taman Velox, Rawang overflowed, believed to be due to a leak, possibly caused by heavy rains in the area."
LUAS and Air Selangor placed 14 bags of activated carbon to address the matter.
In the same statement, LUAS informed that IWK has undertaken cleaning and control measures at the affected area.
Presently, the odour pollution has not led to the shutting down of any water treatment plants or water cuts to consumers.
