hooray! water tank project is completed :)

on Friday we were been told by the vendor that the whole project of the new water tanks is completed, total 10 water tanks, 5 each block :)

well, would like to do some recap, how this project was initiated, more than 1 year ago...

the very first time we approached the state gov't for this water tank was on 21/11/2014, when we wrote the letter to the EXCO to appeal for fund for new water tank lining, pls note that it was not even for new water tank for just the lining, so we really thank God for His grace when later on we got more than what we have bargained for, the 10 new water tanks!!!

on 04/12/15, few weeks before Christmas, few MC members attended the meeting called by state gov't, together with MC & JMB from other apartment for all the requests on the gov't fund, during the meeting we were told not replace the water tank lining, but change to the brand new water tanks, so we have to get some new fresh new quotation for the EXCO to view & consider, which we did abt 2 weeks later where the quotations handover to the EXCO office.

after the anxious long wait & follow up, lastly we saw the approval letter on 22/01/2015, stated clearly that the state will sponsor 80% of the total cost RM405K for Vista Condo to have the 10 new water tanks, but it also posted a great challenge for us, we need to pay upfront 20% (or RM81K) for the state gov't to issue work order for the vendor to proceed with the work....where to get the money?

after much negotiation with the vendor, lastly in August 2015 the company willing to let us trade in the old water tank with RM45K, and also provide the interest free loan 15K, which means we still need to pay 21K from our account....it took us more than half a year for the job of negotiation & accumulate the 21K mainly due to some major projects in between, especially the bomba pipe replacement in June....

so lastly we manege to proceed the 20% to state govt in the month of September & get the work order at the end of September 2015, and the vendor started to order the part & material in Oct 2015, and the installation work started in November 2015.

it took them 2 months+ to complete the whole project, we really thank God for the good weather, as initially we were told it may take up to 3 - 6 months depending on the weather condition, well now the project is completed, we are truly & indeed very very grateful :):)

thanks.
