LAWAS, Nov 9: The Trusan Water Treatment Plant has resumed full operations after dredging and removing accumulated mud deposits around its water intake area, restoring both raw water pumps.
According to the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (UKAS), the Sarawak Rural Water Supply Department (JBALB Sarawak) said the works addressed sediment build-up that had previously affected raw water intake operations at the plant.
The department said that both raw water pumps are now operating simultaneously, compared to only one previously, thereby increasing treated water production capacity to meet consumers’ needs.
However, pipeline flushing works are still being carried out to ensure that water flow and supply pressure throughout the distribution system return to stable levels.
Consumers in areas farther from the plant, including hilly and elevated locations, may need to wait a little longer for water pressure and supply to be fully restored.
JBALB Sarawak also assured the public that it would continue monitoring the plant’s operations and carrying out necessary maintenance to ensure the water supply system remains at optimal performance.
The public can obtain the latest updates through JBALB Sarawak’s official Facebook page and Rakan JBALB Limbang Division.
Any complaints or enquiries regarding water supply can be directed to the JBALB Call Centre at 082-262211. — DayakDaily
