SRA Committee

Dialogue with Indah Water Nov 9 7pm at Japan Club

Dear Residents,

Proposal from Indah Water Konsortium to link the septic tank of houses located on certain roads in Taman Seputeh  to the main Kuala Lumpur Central Sewerage System

The SRA has been contacted by IWK regarding the above and has been requested by the latter to help organise a briefing with affected residents.  On the surface, it appears that IWK’s proposals have some positive effects to affected residents and is worth considering; however, we want to emphasize that the SRA committee has no expertise in this area and any decisions should be made by affected residents themselves. Our role here is merely to organise a meeting for IWK to have a dialogue with residents. Also, what we explain below is basically gathered from IWK andwe have no means of verifying the infoindependently.

In summary, IWK has informed us that under the Malaysian Government’s Urban Transformation Programme, all houses in Kuala Lumpur should ideally be connected to a “Central Sewerage System” just like our water and electricity supply.  Individual Septic Tanks in each house should be eliminated, as these are generally not efficient in dealing with sewage.  IWK officialsstated that the Government is committed to fully fund a programme costing several billion ringgit to link some houses in certain pilot areas to the Central Sewerage System.   Taman Seputeh is one of the selected neighbourhoods, but the Central Sewerage pipes only run through some roads (as shown in Schedule 1) and only those houses fronting these pipes will be part of the programme.  We were informed that affected households need not pay a single cent for the programme.

Each house involved in the programme will be treated as a separate construction job, which is mainly to decommission the old septic tanks and replaced with a new pipe linkingthe dwelling to the main pipe running along the road in front.   IWK has assured us that an independent engineering report be will made for every house involved prior to starting each job.  There are many pros and cons to this proposal but the SRA committee is in no position to evaluate the implications for each and every affected household, hence we agreed to helporganize a dialogue for better understanding.

IWK and the relevant government authority, JabatanPerkhidmatanPembentungan is keen to meet residents to explain this programme.  We are in contact with IWK and have tentatively agreed to inform affected residents for a briefing to be held in 9^th November at the Japan Club hall (subject to further confirmation and availability of the venue).

Robert Quah
