6.3.2 Prevention of Water Contamination at UniMAP

Ensuring Safe and Treated Water Supply

Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) is committed to providing a safe and clean water supply to all its campuses.

To prevent contamination, all water supplied to UniMAP is sourced exclusively from treated water managed by the local water authority – Syarikat Air Perlis (SAP).

This ensures that all water entering the campus meets national drinking water safety and quality standards.

Campus Water System Pollution Prevention

To further protect the internal campus water system from potential pollution, UniMAP’s Development Department has implemented monitoring and control measures throughout the distribution system.

A control panel system has been installed at both primary and secondary screening points to continuously monitor and test water quality.

This system allows for real-time observation of water flow and quality, ensuring early detection and response to any contamination risks.
