Broken Drainage a Growing Concern in Taman Bukit Blossom

It has often been said that good drainage makes for good neighbourhood. Imagine to have a property in a neighbourhood that drains were built only to serve as a purpose of breeding rats/ mosquito instead of channeling water properly. Unfortunately, this is one of the most common worrying areas of problem faced by Taman Bukit Blossom neighbourhood.

Broken drains all over the neighbourhood which contributes to the poor flow of water eventually causes water to stagnate. This stagnant water provides a warm welcome to insects, rats as well as mosquito to breed. To add to the worry, there are drains that doesn't end/ finish properly. One area identified, has got NO DRAIN at all !

TBBRA has identified the areas that needs immediate attention on drainage repairs and have contacted MPS requesting them to solve this issue. We hope MPS will respond to this complaint without further delay as we march towards a Healthy & Clean Residential area.

Fire Hydrant - Time for Upgrade ?




A fire hydrant is an active fire protection measure, and a source of water provided in most urban, suburban and rural areas with municipal water service to enable firefighters to tap into the municipal water supply to assist in extinguishing a fire.



Fire hydrants needs to be flushed out at least twice a year to make sure the pipes are free of debris and to check to make sure it is functioning properly, most importantly check on the water pressure. Also, the area around the fire hydrant must be kept clear at all times.



Taman Bukit Blossom, within the guarded neighbourhood, has only 5 underground hydrants, of which 1 was found to be buried under thick earth covered with grass. Underground Hydrants are no longer used and is rare to be seen. An above ground hydrant would be better in terms of effective access to the hydrants in case of emergency.



We are taking it for granted that all hydrants are in working condition and have proper pressure and water supply. Its better to be safe than sorry so we prompted the “BOMBA” to attend to our Taman and do maintenance works as well as upgrade the hydrants in our Taman. 

Late morning letter was submitted to Balai Bomba & Penyelamat Seremban, afternoon on the very same  day they came to our site to survey and carry out initial works !!! BRAVO Pasukan Bomba & Penyelamat Seremban !


14 July 2013 
The fire department (BOMBA) came to Tmn Bkt Blossom today morning, 9am to check on the hydrants, and as same time to encourage residents who has the hydrant in front of their home, to become Hydrant Partner = Teman Pili. They couldn't finish their job today as they received an emergency call for fighting fire in Hardware shop beside the Masjid in rahang road. They will visit on Wednesday morning 9am again .. those who missed the event today, can go check them out this Wednesday !
