Federal Govt will not invoke Water Services Industry Act as yet


KUALA LUMPUR: The federal government will not invoke the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (Wasia) as yet but will take over the water production and the management of assets if the Selangor government and water concessionaires do not firm up a deal soon.

Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili said he still had a “glimmer of hope” that the state and concessionaires would reach a deal, but noted that time was running out.
