WATER PROBLEM IN SELANGOR



So the present Selangor government is going to guarantee a fresh supply of mineral water to homes? Any solutions to the potential water shortage issue that is bound to happen with the dry season at hand that is forecast to end by September 2012?

Issue like this also cannot settle, I think you better step down gracefully and hand over the baton to Barisan Nasional. Selangorians and I seriously want to know if RAKYAT AKAN DIDAHULUKAN by Pakatan Rakyat government in Selangor.

    • Fuad Omar Growing urban economies naturally create more demand for services. To become a top-20 liveable city in the world in parallel with its dynamic growth, Greater KL/KV will need to improve its water and sewerage systems to ensure adequate provision of services and amenities. In the area of water supply, this will be achieved by accelerating the development of water treatment facilities for Langat 2 Phases 1 and 2, which will be critical to meet demand beyond 2014. The Langat 2 project will increase capacity from the current level of 4,600 million litres per day to 6,700 million litres per day.

    • Megat Saiful Johar Stupid and unnecessarily populist proposal. Water is a valuable natural resource and people aren't known for wisely conserving it. Therefore it is important to "ration" water by putting it on the market, ie. pricing it. What a pathetic attempt to fish for votes.

      The First National Water Resources Study was done in 1980.....then followed by Sectoral Study....followed by individual Projects....Pahang Water Transfer was identified in the NWRS, and latter zoom down to specific Project in late 80s, where I was involved at EPU....masa tu Sam Black belum lagi boss kat EPU....1998 Water Crisis baru Sam Black in the picture...

      That is my question...hardly one year PR took over Selangor, within few months they conclude Selangor wont face water crisis in 2014, instead 2019.....how they do it.....perhaps they consult Ayah Pin the Sky Kingdom boss kot.....since it took Fed Govt nearly 30 years to decide the Pahang Water Transfer...

      Water should not be politicised at the expance of the rakyat.It is unfair as the rakyat are the ones who will suffer if the crisis deepens.Sect 1,2 and 3,Petaling Jaya which has about 10,000 over residents,is one of the oldest housing areas in Selangor being setup 57 years ago.Wenever used to have water disruption problem before.Water cut are very incovenient,especially for those with families to care for.It may be worse for Muslim during the coming fasting month and Hari Raya Celebration...

      Shahrina...just to compare notes.......I did some brief Financial Modelling on Water Supply.....without the WSIA...meaning State has to do from A to Z (old Schedule 9 of Federal Constitution)...the actual cost of water at the tap is about RM 5.00/ cu m....vis a visa avg of RM 1.20 we are paying now, with the following assumption>
      1 - A to Z mean from the dam, intakes, tunnels, treatment plant, piping, tanks, pumphouses etc etc i.e CAPEX
      2 - OPEX of 25% of the Revenue Stream.
      3 - Debt 70%, equity 30%
      4 - 30 years concession.
      5- Discounting Factor 8%.
      6- 6% interest on debt
      7 - DSCR of 1.4
      8 - Target IRR of 12%..

      With WSIA in place (we have been fighting for it since the first NWRS in 80s), Federal Govt thru PAAB absorb all the CAPEX...what we are paying is just the OPEX (off course the NRW)....and Khalid is trying to MENIPUlate all this facts and figures....am I right....

      yes Fuad Omar. Had a proviso in the NWRS study reminding that the sunk cost CAPEX had not been included. Had come up with structure for funding those forgotten water assets, showed a Director where i was then he left for competitor and theytook on the job of creating SPAN cos i left (bored of pipes underground wanted to do pipes in the air). One of the issues with Federal taking over the CAPEX was the identification and valuation ... guess cleared oready ...

      i had suggested to TDM at CFO Conference 10/5/2005 that water be charged at Full Cost Recovery for developed states which could afford private funding cost (DSCR 1.25) but Development Expenditure be used for lower income states, water pricing as a tool to encourage development in lower income states, charged at Ability and Willingness to Pay. TDM answered "that's why lah you people, you want first class service but only want to pay third class rates!"

    • Fuad Omar Yes and before WSIA, funding is a problem since the asset is owned by the State Govt and were funded thru Federal Grants or Loans with has limitations.....and the worst part none of the State pays back their Federal Loan on Water Supply....so might as well Federal took over the Water Asset and also responsibility to develop and expand further CAPEX which are very costly..
