ALOR SETAR: Four companies in Kulim Hi-Tech Park are refusing to pay their August water bill amounting to RM600,000 as they want Darulaman Water Company Sdn Bhd (Sada) to use the old rate approved by the state 15 years ago.
The four companies which produce electronic and software products, claim that they should be paying a flat rate of RM1 per cubic metre as agreed, compared to the new tariff which is from RM1.05 until RM1.20 based on usage amount.
Sada chief executive officer Datuk Adzmi Din said the companies did not pay their August bill and insisted that Sada stick to the RM1 water rate agreement which will end in 2012.
“Any agreement signed before the new rate is automatically abolished under the National Water Services Commission (Span) Act 2004 but there are certain quarters who convinced the companies that they should be paying the old rate.
“The new rate was gazetted on Oct 1 last year following the privatisation of water supply by Span,” he said when met during Sada’s Hari Raya open house yesterday.
