Residents of Jalan Tiong in Bandar Puchong Jaya want the developer of a new condominium near their houses to move its sewage pipe elsewhere.
Last month, the residents voiced their displeasure when they saw installation works being carried out at the slope along Jalan Tiong 2.
According to a representative from the developer’s sub-contractor, the pipe will channel waste from the condominium to the oxidation pond nearby.
The residents objected to the project because they feared the sewage pipe would overflow in future and cause them problems.
Pro-tem residents association chairman Mumfit Mohd Sahlan said a meeting was held at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) headquarters with the developer and Indah Water Konsortium representatives recently.
Kinrara MCA service centre chief Dr Kow Cheong Wei said he was appalled that the residents were asked to seek professional help themselves when it should be MPSJ’s responsibility to assist ratepayers.
“The other condominiums next to this new one have their sewage pipes built under the main road (Jalan Pipit). The developer for this condominium should do the same,” he said.
When met at another event, Kinrara assemblyman Teresa Kok said National Water Services Commission (Span) had informed there was no issue with the works.
“The residents cannot cite worries as the only basis to complain. Their only concern is that the existing facility in their residential area cannot cope with the waste volume from the new development.
“The entire sewage system would be sealed,” she said.
More property news:
“We were told to engage our own lawyer and engineer to prove the sewage pipe cannot be built there. Otherwise, the project will resume on May 1.
“The condominium is located on top of the slope and we would become victims should anything happen to the sewage pipe,” he said.
He said the residents had no intention of hiring the professionals as they could not afford it.
