SHAH ALAM: The Selangor water management boart (LUAS) has confirmed to have received a report on the discoloration of the water in Sungai Gong, Rawang around 12.11pm today.
However, none of the water treatment plants in the state were closed or affected by the incident.
LUAS said investigations found the foamy and colored effluent discharge came from an Indah Water Konsortium wastewater treatment plant in Rawang. IWK has stopped the discharge and closed the inlet pump.
Investigations conducted at the entrance to the Drainage and Irrigation Department found that there was no odor coming from the black water, and the discoloration was suspected to be caused by dyes.
An investigation at the river monitoring station at Bandar Country Homes, Rawang, also did not find any odors or traces of oil in the water.
However, further checkpoints along Sungai Sembah found no odor or discoloration in the Sungai Selangor tributary, and LUAS said it would be monitoring the situation closely.
