JOHOR BARU • Five water treatment plants in Johor that were shut down last week due to high levels of ammonia pollution in Sungai Sayong and Sungai Johor were all up and running again yesterday, The Star newspaper said.
PUB, Singapore's national water agency, said in a statement yesterday:"The ammonia level in JRWW's intake point has reduced. PUB has conducted stringent water quality tests and assessed that the raw water at JRWW's intake point is suitable for abstraction and treatment. The Star quoted Johor International Trade, Investment and Utility Committee chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse as saying that though the plants were fully operational, the water supply to the affected areas would take some time to be at full capacity.
He said most areas have started to get their water supply, except for those in Kempas, Taman Bukit Indah and Taman Desa Cemerlang residential estates.
