Minister of Public Utilities Barry Padarath said the Government is moving to recover treated water losses at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate through an expanded Leak Management Programme by the Water and Sewerage Authority.
According to a release, WASA has intensified leak detection and repair works at Point Lisas as part of its Evolution Plan, with a focus on reducing non-revenue water. The programme is being carried out under ministerial direction and in partnership with the Point Lisas Industrial Port Development Corporation.
Joint inspections by WASA and PLIPDECO identified 15 leaks within the estate. Nine were found to be affecting industrial facilities involved in petrochemical, ammonia, methanol, steel and gas processing. The leaks were reported as early as 2020 and were not addressed at that time.
