New Committee To Investigate Water Disruptions

Jul 26, 2024

The government is stepping up efforts to investigate water supply disruption incidents caused by pollution. 

As such, the National Water Services Commission is setting up a special committee, which will include several parties including the Environment Department and water service operators.  

This committee will find solutions for such issues by collecting information and evidence that they'll examine.  

This, after the recent incidents of odor pollution in the Klang Valley which led to unscheduled water cuts.
