Which water treatment plants were forced to shut down?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Rantau Panjang, SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 water treatment plants were forced to shut down due to odour pollution.

Early investigations by the Selangor Water Management Authority (Luas) indicated that odour pollution in Sungai Selangor led to the shutdown of several water treatment plants. The Rantau Panjang plant ceased operations at 12:20 PM, followed by the SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 plants by 1:00 PM, impacting water supply to numerous accounts across several districts.
Rantau Panjang Plant Shutdown

The Rantau Panjang water treatment plant was compelled to halt its operations at 12:20 PM after odour pollution was detected in the Selangor River. This plant experienced the presence of up to eight tonnes of odour pollution.
SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 Plant Shutdown

Subsequent to the Rantau Panjang plant's shutdown, the SSP1, SSP2, and SSP3 plants were also forced to cease operations by 1:00 PM. These facilities detected approximately four tonnes of odour pollution each.
Impact on Water Supply

The combined shutdowns of these treatment plants have resulted in an unscheduled water disruption affecting an estimated 1,139,008 accounts. These accounts are spread across 1,279 areas in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak, and Kuala Langat.
