This should be in coordination with the city governments, and the ministries of Environment and Public Health, among other entities.
“There is not a single highrise that has a water treatment plant, and there are thousands of these structures. There is not a public office that treats its water. It stands to reason that one cannot only place the burden on the hotels, that would be unfair and inappropriate,” he said.
