SEREMBAN, July 15 (Bernama) -- Syarikat Air Negeri Sembilan Sdn Bhd (Sains) is taking measures to reduce the high water losses in the state and boost its revenue collection.
Its Customer Service and Public Affairs manager Azlan Abdul Aziz said the water loss in the state was 44.1 per cent last year compared to 49.1 per cent in 2009.
The national average of water losses was 36.63 per cent in 2009 and 36.93 per cent in 2008.
"We are aware that the water loss in Negeri Sembilan is still high and must be reduced to a more manageable level," he said in a statement today.
Water losses are calculated based on the difference between the quantity of water produced by plants and the amount of water recorded by the consumers' meters.
Azlan said work was being currently carried out to replace old pipes in Kampong Kondok in Jalan Labu here, and expected to be completed by the end of next month, was part of efforts to reduce water losses.
Azlan said the utility company would continue its effort to replace old pipes in stages all over the state and to upgrade water infrastructure such as water treatment plants, pump houses, water ponds and water pressure valves.
