DOE officers taking samples of the discharge from the treatment plant.
The Department of the Environment (DOE) is checking on the quality of the fluids being released from a sewage treatment plant into a drain near Taman Penampang Phase 2.
This follows a Penampang rate-payer’s misgivings about the presence of sewage in the drain.
He said a strong ammonia-like smell could be detected from the structure.

He feared that effluent might be overflowing from the treatment plant to the neighbourhood.
The individual expressed his concerns in a letter to Hotline and sent the same correspondence to the DOE.
