Lawas water woes will be over soon

LAWAS: The problem of low water pressure here, including some parts of Long Tuma and Surabaya, will be resolved soon when the Sungai Gaya Water Treatment Plant, costing RM20 million, will be completed early next year.

The new water treatment plant will have a capacity of generating 2 MLD (million litres per day).

Minister of Public Utilities Datuk Amar Haji Awang Tengah Ali Hassan said this to the media during a visit to water treatment plant yesterday.

He stressed that the project will be fully completed on time, as set by Lawas District Public Works Department (JKR) here.

“For these few months, there will be water supply disruptions which are only temporary”, he assured, adding that the water supply, when fully functional, is expected to cater for the needs of industries in the area as well.
