The
provision of water is under the purview of the State Government
of Sabah.

| Water
Department Sabah |
During
the Sixth Malaysia Plan (RM6) the Water Department spent an estimate
RM$ 317 million upgrading services to consumers both in the Urban
and Rural areas.
The Water Department will continue to develop and improve the Water
Supply System in Sabah to provide adequate and good quality water
to meet the increasing demands from consumers in Sabah. In the Seventh
Malaysia Plan (RM 7), the allocation for the five year plan period
totals RM$ 82.3 million under continuation projects. The Water Department
has requested RM$ 3.174 billion for new projects under the Seventh
Malaysia Plan. The aim of the plan is:
To provide good quality and adequate quantity of Water Supply to
meet the immediate and increasing demand from consumers due to rapid
economic development, particularly in the industrial and commercial
sectors.
To provide satisfactory services including provision of effective
and efficient billing and revenue collection system.
To enhance the Socio-Economic objectives in accordance with national
Policy, i.e. to ensure 80% of the rural population in Sabah will
be provided with a Water Supply System.
Apart from the allocation mentioned above, a total of RM$182.0 million
allocation is expected from the Federal Government in the form of
a Soft Loan which will be utilised to finance immediate improvement
including improvement works on leakage control systems and non-revenue
water (NRW) throughout the major towns in Sabah and improvement
of the distribution water system in both urban and rural areas.
The Ministry has proposed to privatise the billing and revenue collection
system throughout the State under the Seventh Malaysia Plan (RM7).
In line with the above plan and Privatisation Policy of the State
Government, the Ministry also encourages the privatisation of water
distribution and production systems throughout the districts. These
will reduce some of the State's financial burden on the cost of
maintenance and operation of the Water Treatment Plants in Sabah
and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the service in Sabah.
