Ammonia pollution disrupts water supply in Hulu Selangor

Selangor Water Supply Company (Syabas) was forced to close its Sungai Selisek water treatment plant due to high ammonia content in the river water.

The closure has caused temporary water disruption to 731 premises in parts of Hulu Selangor since Wednesday night.

Syabas Corporate Communications Department Head, Amin Lin Abdullah said the plant, which had to be shut down temporarily, would resume operations as soon as the ammonia level in the river subsides.

The affected areas include Kampung Sungai Nilam/Kampung Seri Pagi, Kampung Lalang Sungai Selisek, Rumah Murah Pkt 2 Sungai Selisek, Kampung Serigala Sungai Selisek, Kampung Orang Asli Serigala Sungai Selisek, Kampung Bahom Sungai Selisek, Kampung Sekolah, the clinic quarters and Kampung Gesir Tengah Sungai Selisek.

He said Syabas had taken proactive measures to minimise inconvenience to consumers by dispatching water tankers and static tanks to the affected areas.
