SIBU, Sept 12: The Sibu Water Board (SWB) will commence a major water pipe installation project along Salim Road, which is expected to take six months, starting tomorrow (Sept 13).
According to a statement issued today, the construction will span from Farley Shopping Centre to the Bukit Lima roundabout and will be conducted in two shifts daily, from 8am to 5pm and from 7pm to 5am.
This upgrade aims to enhance the capacity of the Salim Water Treatment Plant from 150 million litres per day (MLD) to 300 MLD, effectively doubling the water supply for the entire town.
The project will encompass several construction activities, including the installation of 1,200mm diametre MSCL water pipes, road widening, tree removal, piling, and the creation of underground infrastructure.
Road users are advised to exercise caution when travelling through the construction zone and to follow safety guidelines, including observing road warning signs and adhering to speed limits.
SWB will keep the public informed of any changes to the project schedule.
For enquiries, the public can contact the SWB’s 24-hour hotline 013-8106311 or email to enquiries@swb.gov.my. — DayakDaily
