THE Water Department is looking at the possibility of having the supply for Ujana Kingfisher channelled through a new reservoir – which is being built along the section of Jalan Sulaman near Kg Sabagon – in a bid to ease the recurring inconvenience caused by dry taps in the neighbourhood.
While deciding whether to enact this plan, the agency will be keeping tabs on the water situation in the Inanam housing area.The same will also be done at Taman Flamingo, in Manggatal, due to the irregular supply at the residential property.
“This gave rise to the low pressure of the supply at some of the affected premises, while at others not even a drop of water was available,” he said.He said homeowners in Taman Flamingo encountered similar difficulties around the same time when levels at the Department’s R18 reservoir fell. He said, from time to time, the pumps had to be manually reactivated, after an electricity disruption.
“This work involves ensuring that the control panel, including the automatic sensor, functions normally. He said the agency’s staff had been asked to step up their inspections of these devices to ensure that they did not break down. These homeowners furnished Hotline with the location of their homes which was forwarded to the Department.
