Water disruption expected as Sarawak Water conducts Jalan Matang pipeline repairs Sept 4-5; traffic diversion from Sept 3-12

Sarawak Water Sdn Bhd will conduct repair works on a 1,100mm-diameter water pipeline along Jalan Matang in Kuching from September 4 to 5, expected to cause water disruption and traffic diversion. The utility company stated that the repair is necessary to address a suspected leak in the pipeline, which supplies treated water to the Bukit Siol Reservoir, serving consumers in Kuching, Petra Jaya, and surrounding areas.

During the repair, consumers may experience low water pressure or temporary disruption to their water supply, and are advised to store sufficient water for at least 24 hours of essential use. A temporary traffic diversion will be implemented from September 3 to 12, with motorists required to follow temporary signs and instructions while exercising caution. Sarawak Water will communicate progress updates through its official communication channels.
