KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) is taking measures to reduce the impact of water shortage in campus here, due to water rationing that is expected to last until 2024.
UMS vice chancellor Prof Datuk Dr Kasim Mansor said that besides constant contact with Sabah Water Department and daily monitoring of water level in the department’s tank there, the university had also provided external water tanks at the college dorm locations.
Earlier, Prof Kasim revealed that the Kota Kinabalu campus needed between 3 million litres per day to 5 MLD to accommodate needs, but was aware that the university was among those affected from water supply rationing from Telibong water treatment plant in Tuaran. "The department is also facing water theft or leakages up to 8 MLD, and at the same time, pipe upgrading along Pan Borneo highway are also currently being done.
