KOTA KINABALU: Consumers have expressed their dissatisfaction with the recent announcement from Jetama Water Concession regarding a 10-day water cut, following State Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya’s statement that Sabah is not facing a water crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sabah West Coast Wise Consumers Association (PPBS) president David Chan said complaints have been received from users who were advised to install extra water storage tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“They have mentioned that the water tanks are not provided for free by the Jetama contractor, as the version differs from the Jetama water concession contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The question arises as to who should take responsibility, as consumers are being asked to cover the costs of installing the water storage tank themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If JA or the contractor is required to cover the expenses of the water storage tank due to misleading information, it should not be overlooked,” he said in a statement here today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering that every household already has a water storage tank for daily use, installing an additional tank seems unnecessary if water rationing is due to a shortage of treated water, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David said consumers are hopeful that the contractor will compensate those who have installed extra water storage tanks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
