RESIDENTS of Taman Cheras Indah have been putting up with the stench from an uncovered oxidation pond for years and now have to brace for more when three more oxidation ponds are completed within the year.
Once the new project is complete, the housing area will be sandwiched between the two sewerage plants and there will be no escape from the odour.
A new housing project is being built near Taman Cheras Indah but
residents are unhappy with the developer’s plan to build the oxidation
ponds closer to their homes.
The residents have voiced their displeasure to Dusun Tua assemblyman
Rahmat Musa who has promised to bring up the matter with the local
council.
Contractors began work on the project early last month and have
realigned the existing drainage system to accommodate the oxidation
pond project.
Kampung Batu 9 Cheras Village Security and Development Committee
chairman Ho Ah Seng, who is acting on behalf of the residents, said the
oxidation pond project was too close to the homes and the realignment
of the existing drainage system had also narrowed the road running
parallel to it.
