KUCHING, Jan 16: The Kuching Water Board (KWB) gave its reassurance that water supply will continue despite the water leakage at the open space area on the road shoulder leading to the Shell Station at BDC flyover at Jalan Tun Jugah.
In a media release issued today, the board said the leak was reported on January 8, which prompted it to identify the source.
“There are three main pipelines: 450mm DI, 600mm MSCL, and 15-inch AC pipe buried with other utility cables along this stretch of road reserve.
“The board had conducted several valve testing and interconnection isolations last week and will also continue the exercise to identify the damaged pipe source with minimum water supply interruption to consumers at BDC areas,” it said.
The board added that once the damaged pipeline is confirmed and isolated, repair work will be carried out as soon as possible.
In the meantime, the board will supply water to areas facing low water pressure through water tankers.
“Consumers are advised to store water for any eventuality as the repair work will affect a big area. “
