为了有效地对抗SARS,市镇理事会和医院似乎是增加了用水量,但是事实并非如此。实际上,与去年同期相比,各市镇会今年3-5月的用水量下降了11%～12%。由于市镇会和医院在防治SARS期间必须花费更多的水来进行清洗工作,议员詹时中(波东巴西区)向环境发展部长林瑞生询问政府会不会考? In order to effectively combat SARS, town councils and hospitals appear to have increased water use, but this is not the case. In fact, compared with the same period of last year, the water consumption of the municipalities in March-May this year dropped by 11% to 12%. As townhouses and hospitals have to spend more water to clean their homes during the SARS campaign, Congressman Zhan Shizhong (Poseidon Region) asked Minister of Environment and Development, Lim Shui-sheng, whether the government will test it.
