SANDAKAN: The State Water Department is in the process of finding and increasing underground water supply in the district through boreholes to ensure continuous supply.“However, this is insufficient given the district’s rapid development. This effort will take time but some short-term measures will be implemented such as the installation of a booster pump at flats in the old part of the town that is experiencing low water pressure.
However, the plant is no longer in operation for raw water treatment due to water shortages. Supply now comes from the nearest water treatment plant.JANS, Suhaimi said, is currently in talks with consultants and it is expected to take six months to identify and create a new borehole before the Sandakan water supply issue is expected to be fully resolved within two years.
George hopes JANS’s short-term measures to install booster pumps can help water users in his constituency while waiting for the planned long-term solution.
