INDAH Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) will carry out upgrading work at its two sewage treatment plants in Pusat Bandar Puchong.
The project will increase the plants’ capacity to cope with the increasing amount of waste.
Work at the two plants in Jalan 8 and Taman Seri Puchong will start this month and is expected to be completed in February next year.
IWK communications manager Shahrul Nizam Sulaiman said the Jalan 8 plant, which catered to about 6,000 people, would have an increased capacity to 9,000 after the upgrading work.
“We will install a new pump at both plants,” said Shahrul Nizam.
He added that the main cause of the stench was the illegal dumping of chemical and industrial wastes near the plant.
“Some people also throw clothes and other solid items into the waste pipe, which caused problems in the treatment process and consequently leakage occurs,” he said.
Puchong MCA chairman Datuk Wong Hock Aun said the enhancement project was approved by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry recently.
“We have been attending to the complaints from Pusat Bandar Puchong residents about the foul smell and have highlighted the problem to IWK.
“We hope this upgrade work will tackle the problem and end the residents’ woes,” said Wong.
For details on the upgrade work, call IWK general line at 1 800 88 3495 or visit www.iwk.com.my.
