KUCHING, Oct 30 — Emergency repair works on a critical 750mm mild steel cement-lined (MSCL) water main on Jalan Lapangan Terbang were completed at 2am today, said Sarawak Water Sdn Bhd.

The utility provider said water supply restoration is now underway in stages.

It said the unscheduled water supply interruption was necessitated by repair works on the 750mm pipeline located off Jalan Kuching Ranger Depot after it was damaged by third-party operations associated with the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project.

The disruption affected consumers in the Datuk Muda Tank supply area, Jalan Lapangan Terbang, Jalan Tun Jugah, Jalan Batu Lintang, and surrounding areas.
