CEO SATU TUBUH SKUAD KHAS
Sasar kurang pembaziran air RM18 juta
SATU meletakkan sasaran untuk mengurangkan jumlah air tidak terhasil (NRW) daripada 36 peratus kepada 29 peratus menjelang akhir tahun 2010, sekali gus mengurangkan pembaziran air bernilai sehingga 18 juta. Yakin sasaran diletakkan itu mampu dicapai melalui penubuhan skuad khas untuk memantau dan membuat rumusan kaedah berkesan bagi mengekang masalah itu.
Sepanjang tahun 2009, SATU telah menerima kira-kira 20,296 aduan daripada pelanggan membabitkan pelbagai masalah antaranya kecurian air dan kebocoran paip yang menyumbang kepada NRW, yang juga menyebabkan kerugian kepada syarikat. Setakat lima bulan pertama tahun 2010, SATU sudah menerima kira-kira 10,395 aduan. Syarikat juga sedar jika semua aduan ini dapat diselesaikan atau diambil tindakan segera, maka masalah NRW ini dapat diatasi dan dapat mengurangkan pembaziran dan kerugian. Menyedari akan masalah ini, SATU akan menubuhkan pasukan khas yang akan ditempatkan disetiap daerah supaya dapat memantau masalah NRW, serta menggerakkan tindakan segera terhadap setiap aduan pelanggan. Dalam masa yang sama, usaha ini juga akan membantu syarikat meningkatkan mutu perkhidmatan kepada pelanggan.
Menurut CEO SATU, Tuan Haji Husain b. Embong, dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-10 (RMK-10) SATU juga diperuntukkan RM30 juta untuk menjalankan kerja penukaran paip lama dari jenis Ductile Iron (DI) yang lebih tahan lama dan berkualiti tinggi, sekaligus dapat menangani masalah paip pecah. |

International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.
An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.
Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater.
The World Water Day 2010 and its campaign is envisaged to:
- Raise awareness about sustaining healthy ecosystems and human well-being through addressing the increasing water quality challenges in water management and
- Raise the profile of water quality by encouraging governments, organizations, communities, and individuals around the world to actively engage in proactively addressing water quality e.g. in pollution prevention, clean up and restoration.
Water Quality : Healthy People, Healthy Ecosystems
