WATER MANAGEMENT
As water is a necessary, but precious commodity, good
stewardship is imperative in order to maintain the long-
term sufficiency of this valuable resource that is essential
to both economic and environmental stability. At CMS, we
have made it our goal to reduce water wastage through
the planning, developing, distributing and managing of
our water resources optimally.
Some of the water-saving initiatives we have implemented
include the reduction of treated water usage from the
Environment
Increased Water Consumption in Samalaju
The year 2016 saw a slight increase in water consumption
as compared to the amount of water used in the
previous year. This was due to the growing number of
tenants at Samalaju Lodges, and the supply of water to a
construction site at Samalaju Central. Samalaju Properties
Sdn Bhd has since taken the following steps in its effort to
conserve water:
• Organised a centralised laundry to optimise and
reduce water usage;
• Periodic checking on water mains, water tanks,
pumps to detect potential leakage;
• Installation of sub-meters to track consumption;
• Routine check tomitigate wastage of water, especially
at washrooms; and
• Use of rainwater/reuse water from natural ponds to
water plants.
Using Recycled Water to Cool Machinery
CMS Quarries Sdn Bhd reuses recycled water to cool its
machinery. We have two water ponds for this purpose that
can store 2.43 m
3
and 3.3 m
3
of water respectively.
Rainwater Harvesting Programme
Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting rainwater
with the intention of reusing it on-site. In 2010, we began
our Rainwater Harvesting Programme at our clinker plant.
Following a suspension of the project, we relaunched
the programme in 2016. Rainwater is now collected for
general use at the plant.

the maintenance and regular inspection of the water
circulating system.
