SHAH ALAM: Kerajaan negeri Selangor telah menghantar notis amaran kepada Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) kerana gagal membekalkan air terawat kepada para pengguna.
Menteri Besar Selangor Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim berkata, jika Syabas gagal melaksanakan tanggungjawab itu maka kerajaan negeri berhak untuk menamatkan perjanjian konsesi.
“Setelah itu, kerajaan negeri akan mengambil alih fungsi Syabas untuk membekalkan air terawat ke seluruh Selangor,” katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat mingguan exco di sini petang tadi.
Menurutnya, Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri (MMKN) pada 28 Mac lalu dimaklumkan bahawa Syabas gagal menyediakan perkhidmatan bekalan air terawat kepada beberapa pemaju di Selangor hingga menyebabkan pelaksanaan projek-projek mereka terjejas.
“Tindakan Syabas jelas sekali bertentangan dengan terma yang dipersetujui dalam perjanjian konsesi yang ditandatangani kerajaan Pusat,
Negeri dan syarikat konsesi pada 15 Disember 2004,” katanya.
Katanya, kerajaan negeri memandang berat perkara itu dan jika kegagalan berkenaan terus berlaku maka ia dianggap sebagai satu pelanggaran terma terhadap perjanjian konsesi.
Menurut Abdul Khalid, notis amaran tersebut dihantar pada 29 Mac lalu.--FreeMalaysiaToday

TheStar:Task force to plug water leakage
PETALING JAYA: In its efforts to tackle the problem of water loss, the Government has set up a task force that targets to reduce non-revenue water (NRW) from 36% of total amount of water produced currently to 25% by 2020.
“The recently formed task force will monitor the status and progress of NRW management efforts under a management action plan,'' an industry player told StarBizWeek, adding that strategies and best practices of NRW management internationally were also being studied.
NRW is the difference between the amount of water put into the distribution system and the amount of water billed to consumers.
By 2010, NRW in the country, including Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, had climbed to 35.19% out of 5.13 million cubic metres of water produced.
The task force, which was set up by the National Water Services Commission or SPAN, comprises the CEO of SPAN, Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry officials, National Audit Department, national water asset management company PAAB, two non-governmental organisations and water operators.
