JULAU, Nov 2: A new water treatment plant with a capacity of 30 million litres per day (MLD) has been proposed under the Julau Water Supply Project Package 2 to increase treated water production and meet the growing needs of the district’s expanding population.
Caretaker Minister of Utilities and Telecommunications Dato Sri Julaihi Narawi said the project is currently at the planning stage as part of the State government’s continued efforts to strengthen water supply infrastructure in Julau.
He said the proposed plant would serve as a long-term measure to ensure treated water production capacity keeps pace with population growth and future development in the area.
He added that the Sarawak government is also taking steps to address water supply disruptions in areas along Jalan KJD, including Assan Nunggang, through a proposed upgrade of the existing pipeline system.
