RANAU: The State Water Department needs to put in place a more practical contingency plan to tackle supply disruption problems, especially when they last more than a week.
Parti Solidarity Sabah Tanah Airku (Star Sabah) Wiramuda Chief Kong Soon Choi said initially the department issued a notice about the disruption, but if they knew the impact of the disruption would affect many users, a contingency plan should have been prepared.
“The repair work on the water suction pump machine system at the dam takes quite a long time. So the department should get the help of enough water transport trucks to distribute water to affected users.
