Pump at plant being repaired

SANDAKAN: JAS engineer Richard Lee said pump at the Segaliud Water Treatment Plant is currently undergoing emergency repair. 

As a result, water supply from the Segaliud plant has been reduced by about 35pc on daily basis, causing low pressure to several locations in Sandakan. 

This repair is scheduled to complete by Thursday or Friday and water pressure should return to normal by end of the week.

When asked further by Vivian (pic) on how to ensure smooth operation of the treatment plant in future, Richard informed that last year the State Government approved funding for replacement of pump number three, which is scheduled to arrive from Japan in June 2021. 

JAS has also applied for further funding under the 12th Malaysia plan to replace two other pumps so that the plant will be operating with three new pumps.
