This wont solve the problem. The outlet pipe is about 2 inch above the floor of the tank. So you will have about 2 inch of water below at all times.
The tanks are failed products of KEN that puts us at great risks. They know it but yet they push the responsibility to us. This issue with the tanks were due to the complaints I've made with them after my mum got diagnosed with dengue. They checked and found the rain water harvest tanks a breeding place for mosquitoes. MBSA did not confirm on these tanks.
The payment of RM5 per month is principally unjust. I've had enough issues with the management and their failure to ensure that we live in a safe environment. To them their award is more important than the life of the residents.
Fogging won't do a thing. Its just a waste of time and to mask the underlying issue which they are aware about. Even if there are those who pays for the maintenance of it there will be others who won't. Then the issue still persists. It has to be an uniform decision. We have to stick to our decision as a whole; as a community; as neighbors.
To me, their meeting last Sunday was just to dictate how we should live and what to pay. They sent an incompetent person to speak. We need someone who listens not defend. I have sent many emails to them regarding the tanks and also wrote on their facebook page as the final avenue. Will see how this goes.
I am never going to pay that RM5. Not even if it is 50cents. Principals. Its their screw up. I don't care about the MOT I signed - Its the lives of my family and residents concerned. I didn't pay half a million for a house where I need to close my windows and doors at all times; a house where my nephews and nieces cant walk or chill outside.
I too agree 100% on this. I am not going to pay that RM5/month as well. The least they could do is to rid off the tanks or add a filter which filters out the mosquito larvae. Something similar to this.
That being said, the last resort I would pull off is to rid the tank forcefully with or without the consent from the management.
