IWK suspects the real source might have been illegal dumping of waste. FMTNews SungaiGong IWK

Enforcement officers checking on the quality of the water in Sungai Gong. Indah Water Consortium Sdn Bhd said it is disappointed at being frequently made an easy target for any water pollution incident like this one.

Instead, IWK CEO Narendran Maniam said the company had identified the presence of yellow-coloured non-sewage waste inside the plant’s intake chamber which caused the final effluent to be polluted, turning it to a yellow colour.“We suspect that illegal waste dumping had occurred near our plant, which had caused the substance to flow into the plant.

On further investigation, LUAS found discoloured and foamy effluent discharge, from area 5 IWK GBK 134 plant, in Rawang Industrial Park.
