Salty Sandakan water: YB slams negligence of Water Department
Calvin said although the Water Department claimed to have locked up the door that had been broken, this was no longer effective because the water reservoir had already been affected.
SANDAKAN: Elopura Assemblyman Calvin Chong slammed the negligence of the Water Department that resulted in a high level of salinity in the water supply here.

He said the damage to the Segaliud Water Treatment Plant during a break-in was also due to the lax security system in the area.

“The area was not safe and not strictly monitored, so theft and damage occurred which caused river water to overflow into the plant’s dam, resulting in an increase in the level of salinity in the water supply.
