‘We have contingency water plan’


JOHOR BARU: The Johor government is prepared to obtain treated water from other sources should Singapore hike up the price under a possible bilateral review of the state’s sale of raw water to its southern neighbour.

State Public Works, Rural and Regional Development Committee chairman Datuk Hasni Mohamad foresees that if both countries agree to the price increase for raw water Johor sells to Singapore, the island republic would in turn want to raise the price of treated water it supplies to Johor.
