Ums Water Woes Pm S Rm3m Allocation To Construct Tube Wells

Six tube wells will be built to overcome water supply problems at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) using the RM3 million announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in May last year.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Mustapha Sakmud said the construction of four of the tube wells is being carried out by two contractors.
According to Mustapha, the four-tube wells are now in the drilling phase and geologists are now looking for suitable sites to build the other two tube wells.
He said this to reporters after a briefing on the water supply issue at UMS by the university’s Development and Maintenance Department today which was also attended by UMS vice-chancellor Kasim Md Mansor.
Mustapha said efforts would be made to ensure the implementation of the project runs smoothly and that he would request a weekly report on its progress.
"This water issue has become our main agenda and it has received the attention of the prime minister.
“Therefore, we need to take a serious look at this matter so that it can be completed within the stipulated period," he said.
Mustapha stated that the construction of the six tube wells is only a short-term solution and it is only capable of channelling an additional one million litres of water supply per day.
“There are about 20,000 water users in UMS who need at least five million litres of water supply per day," he said, adding that the Sabah Water Department would have to look into the long-term solution to the problem.

Last Tuesday, the prime minister was reported to have instructed the relevant party to submit a report regarding the ongoing water supply problem at UMS, despite the government having approved RM3 million last year to overcome the problem.
The following day, Sabah Deputy Chief Minister III Shahelmey Yahya was reported to have said that the water supply issue facing UMS is expected to be resolved through the Telibong Water Treatment Plant (LRA) Phase 2 upgrade project.
The project is in the final piping work stage and is scheduled to be ready end of this month.
