Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Water Department has reportedly estimated it would take six to eight months to solve the problem of high "Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) level" or dirty water in Sandakan’s supply after it has identified the root cause of the problem.
Department director Suhaimi Asbullah revealed that the root cause of the problem was the frequently open rivergate at the Segaliud Water Treatment Plant, which supplies water to over 80 per cent of Sandakan’s residents, it has been reported.
He disclosed the matter during a meeting on Wednesday with Sandakan Water Watch Station Committee chairman Datuk John Khoo Cheo Ping; Sabah Environmental Protection Association (Sepa) chairman Alexandra Yee; and Sepa secretary general Ben Golimbi.
