“The project costing RM89 million is progressing well and hopefully it can be completed according to the set schedule, that is in the middle of 2025,” he said.
Shahelmey also assured that the water problems in Kampung Labuan Sempadan and Kampung Kota Peladok will be resolved in the near future.
He said a survey conducted with the State Water Department Director in the two villages enabled them to understand the real issue that resulted in the residents not receiving water supply through the Water Department pipes.
Shahelmey said the stabilisation of the distribution is one of the temporary measures while awaiting the decision on the long-term water supply plan in the west coast of Sabah through the construction of the proposed Papar Dam or Ulu Padas Dam.
