WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30, 1991
MR BARNES POINTED OUT THAT THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PLUMBING WITHIN A BUILDING IS THAT OF THE REGISTERED CONSUMERS, NOT THE WATER SUPPLIES DEPARTMENT.
THE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THE HOUSING ESTATE MANAGEMENT TO ARRANGE FOR A LICENSED PLUMBER TO CARRY OUT THE NECESSARY INVESTIGATION AND TO TAKE NECESSARY REMEDIAL MEASURES.
"I UNDERSTAND THAT THE WATER PIPES FOR THE WORST AFFECTED FLATS HAVE NOW BEEN REPLACED, AND THE SITUATION HAS IMPROVED,' " HE ADDED.
