KUCHING, Dec 12: Residents along Jalan Canna, including those in the Tabuan Jaya, Tabuan Tranquility, Stutong and La Promenade areas, are advised to stock up on water ahead of a scheduled supply disruption expected from 9pm on Dec 13 until 6am on Dec 14.
The disruption is due to repair works on an underground water pipe at Jalan Canna, being carried out by contractors from Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd (Sarawak Metro) and Kuching Water Board (KWB).
In a statement today, Sarawak Metro explained that the underground pipe was damaged during soil investigation works for the Blue Line alignment of the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) Project on Nov 25.
