KOTA SAMARAHAN: The shortage of clean water here is expected to be over within six months and one year from now.
Asajaya assemblyman Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said this is because the laying of water pipes to the water source in Kuching is still underway.
He explained yesterday that the work was a bit slow due to the problems faced by the contractor.
“With the present water shortage, I hope the affected people will be patient because the problem can be rectified within a year,” Abdul Karim, who is Assistant Youth Development Minister, told reporters after closing the Shell Traffic Games at the Civic Centre here.
The Assistant Minister of Housing explained that the present water treatment plant in Asajaya could not meet the demand of the growing population.
“If we look at the present phase of development and growing household and population, the water treatment plant cannot meet the demand and that is why we are facing the water problem,” he pointed out.
He added that areas experiencing water shortage were those from Kampung Asajaya until Sadong Jaya, while those not affected were from Kampung Tambirat to Asajaya Bazaar.
