KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Water Department must take drastic measures to resolve the water supply crisis that continues to haunt residents in the Sepanggar area near here.
Sepanggar MP Mustapha Sakmud said more than 300,000 residents in the constituency, which was also home to the naval base, relied on the department’s efficiency once and for all to address this problem.He said the government must focus on and expedite the completion of the Telibong 2 water treatment plant project, located in nearby Tuaran district.
The water supply problem has worsened over the past 24 months, with not only Sepanggar affected but also areas around the state capital as well as neighbouring districts such as Penampang, Tuaran and Papar. Shahelmey, who is also the state Works Minister, said some of the initiatives include distributing water to affected areas by modifying piping systems.
“How fast the water supply reaches them, however, is based on the availability of staff and the logistics at the time of request.
