KUCHING (Jan 31): The longstanding issue of low water pressure in Kampung Bunga Rampai in Batu Kitang here is set to be resolved by 2026 with the proposed construction of a high-level water tank.
Batu Kitang assemblyman Dato Lo Khere Chiang confirmed that the Kuching Water Board (KWB) would oversee the project.
“The site has been identified, and KWB is prepared to purchase the land for the construction of the high-level water tank, with an estimated cost of RM5 million,” he told reporters during a Lunar New Year open house at his residence in Stapok here today.
He explained that the project is expected to be completed by 2026 and would address the water pressure issues not only in Kampung Bunga Rampai but also in surrounding areas.
Additionally, Lo announced plans for a major water supply improvement project in the Batu Kitang constituency.
He said KWB is set to construct a new water treatment plant in Landeh, Kampung Petong, which will enhance water supply across Kuching, including Petra Jaya.
“This new water treatment plant will help enhance the water supply across Kuching, including Petra Jaya,” he said.
Among the distinguished guests at his open house were Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg and Deputy Minister of Utility and Telecommunications Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi.
When asked about his discussions with the Premier earlier, Lo shared that they had focused on policies implemented by the Sarawak government under Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS).
“We also spoke about the positive developments taking place in Sarawak under the Premier’s leadership.
“As Sarawakians, we are proud and pleased with the state’s progress in the right direction, ensuring a bright future for us all,” he said.
