KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has assured ratepayers that it would strive to maintain and improve the basic infrastructure across areas under its jurisdiction.

Council chairman Lo Khere Chiang said an example of this would be the RM200,000 pipe-laying project near Jalan Ngee Soon / Off Jalan Batu Kawah.

“KWB (Kuching Water Board), with support from the MPP and SUPP leaders, has completed the project that comprises the laying of 150mm-diameter pipeline spanning 1km along Jalan Ngee Soon.

“The project has benefited more than 10 households there,” he said during a visit to the site here on Sunday, adding that the construction commenced two months ago. According to Lo, KWB is now in the process of installing new water meters and supply connection from the new pipeline to the houses.

“We (MPP) will always be ready to assist our ratepayers in maintaining and improving basic infrastructure the best way that we can,” he said.

Lo was accompanied by SUPP Stampin Parliamentary Liaison Committee chairman Tan Joo Phoi, KWB officials and several local residents during the site visit.
