He said the ammonia pollution was believed to have occurred as leachate seeped when the embankments of a discharge pond broke due to heavy rain.
“Ranhill SAJ (the company responsible for water supply services in Johor) was forced to stop operations because the quality of raw water declined due to higher ammonia content exceeding permitted limits of 1.5 ppm (parts per million),” said Mr Phua in a statement.
“At noon, the water readings at Sungai Ulu Benut recorded a reading of 16 ppm which meant that the Simpang Renggam water treatment plant was unable to provide clean water.”
