KUCHING, Nov 2: Despite sufficient water resources in the country, the Kuching Water Board (KWB) must not become complacent in tackling water management challenges, says Minister of Utility and Telecommunication Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi.
According to a report from the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) today, Julaihi highlighted KWB’s critical role in balancing water supply and demand amid Sarawak’s rapid population growth, stressing the importance of sustaining this responsibility.
“KWB must be better prepared and resilient to face future challenges, adopting dynamic and effective approaches in managing treated water supply,” he was quoted as saying by TVS.
He made the remarks while officiating at the KWB Appreciation Dinner for the Excellent Service Awards 2023 and the Retiree Recognition 2024 at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) on Nov 1.
Julaihi noted that Sarawak’s current water supply coverage has now reached 85.4 per cent, reflecting the State’s commitment to meeting residents’ essential needs, with a target of full coverage by 2030. — DayakDaily
