The ZDP, implemented by the Selangor State Government through LUAS, aims to minimise effluent discharge through wastewater reuse and recycling while protecting the State’s water resources. The policy is governed by the Lembaga Urus Air Selangor Enactment 1999 and the relevant regulations gazetted on June 20, 2024.

Depending on their activities and discharges, premises may be required to obtain the relevant LUAS licences, including the Licence for Return Water Discharge (AK) and/or the Licence for Entry or Discharge of Waste and Pollutants (BP).

Members are reminded that failure to comply with licence conditions may result in a fine of up to RM10,000, imprisonment for up to six (6) months, or both.
