KOTA KINABALU: Efforts to resolve the salty water issue that has been a bane for consumers in the east coast Sandakan district for the past few months will be undertaken after spare parts for the damaged river gate arrive next month.

State Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya said these parts were required in order to fix the river gate at the Segaliud river which was said to have been damaged by vandals.
