Water at all Selangor dams at peak capacity, says Liu

The water level of all seven dams in Selangor is at peak capacity, said Selangor exco member Ronnie Liu, who warned state water concessionaire Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) not to manufacture a water crisis. 

Liu, who chairs the state’s local government, research and development committee, said he and several village chiefs and local councillors had visited the dams this morning and found them to be full. 

He questioned Syabas’ proposal toration water in the Klang Valley since there is no shortage of water.

“We do not believe their story since all the dams are full and the rivers are full. 

“Why rationing? Are they admitting that they do not know how to effectively treat water? There is plenty of raw water,” he toldMalaysiakini.

He added that if Syabas is indeed incapable of treating the water, then it should support the menteri besar’s plan to take over its operations.
