The state's Environment, Green Technology, Science, Technology and Innovation, and Consumer Affairs Committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said the water treatment plants included Sungai Selangor, Sungai Langat, Sungai Semenyih and Sungai Gombak.
"The cause of the contamination included oil and diesel spills, the discharge of effluents and ammonia effects as well as high Manganese content in the raw water. "Besides that, the increase of turbidity level in the raw water during heavy rain due to uncontrolled earthworks also forced the shut down of the plant," he said in reply to a question on Tuesday from Chua Wei Kiat who wanted to know about the shutting down of the water treatment plants.
Elaborating further, Hee said the state government had implemented various initiatives to conserve water resources in the state, including gazetting seven dams and 413 rivers.
