Water testing service unavailable for public

Monday, 01 March 2010
Kathmandu: Public are deprived of water testing facility in the modern laboratory brought into operation by the Department of Water Supply and Sewerage (DWSS) three years ago. DWSS stated that it has been unable to test the water brought by the public, as the government is yet to formulate long-term strategy for operating the laboratory.
The department had prepared a proposal for beginning water-testing facility for the public. “We had made preparations to submit proposal to the ministry of Physical Planning and Works with the minimum charge for the public for water test but we did not submit proposal in the absence of policy on lab operation and its sustainability,” said Birendra Man Shakya, chief, Water Quality Improvement and Monitoring Section, DWSS. “We did not submit proposal as it cost a lot to operate the lab but the fee collected from the public for water test would be deposited in the revenue office for being a government organization,” Shakya adds. The department stated that it will begin its services for the public as soon as the government prepare directives and provide necessary support to operate the laboratory.
At present, the department has been testing water samples brought by different projects. Similarly, the department has been testing water samples bought from different districts before commencing a drinking water project to find out whether the water is potable or not. Shakya informed that the department has been testing such water samples free of cost. He told that the department had prepared a proposal to test water samples brought by the public at a minimal cost but it did not worked out. Staffs at the department told that the laboratory constructed at an investment of millions of rupees is not functioning in full capacity due to negligence of the government. “Public is deprived to know the quality of water they have been drinking,” said a staff, adding, “Public come here with water samples but we send them saying that the service is not for general public.”

My name is hoover, my 18 year old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed with herpes 3 years ago. Since then, we have moved from one hospital to another. We tried all kinds of pills, but every effort to get rid of the virus was futile. The bubbles continued to reappear after a few months. My daughter was using 200mg acyclovir pills. 2 tablets every 6 hours and 15g of fusitin cream. and H5 POT. Permanganate with water to be applied twice a day, but all still do not show results. So, I was on the internet a few months ago, to look for other ways to save my only son. Only then did I come across a comment about the herbal treatment of Dr Imoloa and decided to give it a try.
