The Selangor Water Management Authority (LUAS) and the State Health Department took water samples from 17 disused mines last year to study suitability as alternative water source.
Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said analysis on water quality found that it needs minimum alum and chlorine for disinfection to meet drinking water standard by Health Ministry and approval of National Water Services Commission (Span) to operate a treatment plant.
"LUAS and the State Health Department took water samples from 30 disused mines in 2005 and chose 17 disused mines as suitable alternative water source.
"In 2011, samples were again taken from 17 disused mines for quality checks and gazetting," he told the state assembly here Thursday.--BERNAMA
