"Loji ini boleh membekalkan 30 MLD tetapi permintaan semasa hanya 13 MLD," katanya. Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita semasa lawatan ke Loji Rawatan Air Batu Kitang di sini hari ini bagi melihat kemajuan kerja-kerja menaik taraf loji tersebut bagi meningkatkan kapasiti pengeluaran airnya kepada 884 juta liter sehari (MLD) daripada 780 MLD.

Bagi kawasan lain pula katanya di Serian mempunyai Loji Rawatan Air Slabi dan Projek Fasa 2 Bekalan Air Wilayah Serian yang akan bersambung membentuk grid. "Semua projek ini adalah usaha berterusan kerajaan Sarawak bagi mencapai liputan penuh bekalan air menjelang 2030," tegasnya. Beliau memberitahu ketika ini liputan bekalan air di kawasan luar bandar adalah 70 peratus dan di seluruh Sarawak merangkumi bandar dan luar bandar adalah 85 peratus. Tambahnya, banyak projek telah diluluskan kerajaan Sarawak yang akan dan sedang dilaksanakan dan semuanya dibiayai kerajaan Sarawak. Mengenai Loji Rawatan Air Batu Kitang, Julaihi berkata loji itu dinaik taraf daripada 780 MLD kepada 884 MLD secara fizikalnya telah siap dan kini melalui proses "Ujian & Pentauliahan" (T&C) sehingga bulan Julai 2024. Menurutnya, walaupun masih melalui proses T&C, loji itu sudah boleh menghasilkan air terawat sehingga mencapai kapsiti 884 MLD menjelang bulan Julai depan. "Kos naik taraf RM107 juta adalah peruntukan bajet kerajaan Sarawak. "Setakat ini permintaan sebenar air terawat dari Loji Air Batu Kitang ialah sebanyak 730 MLD berbanding kapasiti penghasilan air terawat yang meningkat kepada 884 MLD. "Pengguna terbesar adalah Samajaya Free Industrial Trade Zone yang kini mengguna 24 MLD," jelasnya. Katanya lagi, kapasiti tambahan ini dapat membekal air ke kawasan Petra Jaya, Sampadi, Rambungan, Demak Laut dan Santubong. "Malah loji ini juga membekal air terawat kepada JBALB yang seterusnya menghantar bekalan air terawat ke kawasan Asajaya, Kota Samarahan, Sadong Jaya, Sebangan, Sebuyau dan Simunjan di Bahagian Samarahan. "Berdasarkan kapasiti baharu ini kelak reserve margin air terawat dari Loji Rawatan Air Batu Kitang ini akan meningkat dari 5 peratus kepada 12 peratus apabila selesainya T&C kelak," ujarnya. Pada masa sama, beliau menegaskan langkah untuk menganti saluran paip lama dan uzur dan menaik taraf saluran paip di sekitar Bandaraya Kuching dan kawasan sekitar di Bahagian Samarahan serta seluruh Sarawak akan bermula sedikit masa lagi pada tahun ini menggunakan peruntukan RM247 juta dari bajet Sarawak yang sudah diluluskan. "Jumlah ini adalah sebahagian daripada jumlah kelulusan sebanyak RM 1.08 Billion yang sudah diluluskan oleh Kerajaan Sarawak bagi mengganti paip uzur dan menaik taraf saluran paip sepanjang 2,740 km di seluruh Sarawak untuk jangka masa lima tahun. "Langkah ini penting untuk mengawal dan mengurang air tidak terhasil @non revenue water ( NRW ) pada kadar sekurang-kurangnya 25 peratus selain memasti tekanan air tidak terjejas," ujarnya.

On another note, Julaihi said the state government is looking at upgrading and replacing water distribution pipes statewide, including those in Kuching. “The government has approved the budget to initiate the replacement and upgrading works starting next year. With these replacement, ageing pipes currently in use will be phased out, as our target is to upgrade and replace the pipes in the existing water supply system every year. “Kuching area will be our priority in the upgrading and replacement exercise starting next year,” he said. Meanwhile, at the appreciation night, 46 KWB staff received the Excellent Service Award and 232 staff received the Purata e-Prestasi 85 per cent recognition. “KWB contributes not only to the water supply in Kuching city, but their services have crossed the boundaries of the city such as to the Samarahan division — enabling the supply of clean water to its residents,” he said.

KUCHING: The upgrading of the Batu Kitang water treatment plant is set to be completed within the first quarter of 2024, said Datuk Seri Julaihi Narawi. The Utility and Telecommunication Minister said the focus is particularly on fortifying the capacity of the Batu Kitang water treatment plant, presently at 780 Million Litres Daily (MLD), with a targeted upgrade to 884 Million Litres Daily (MLD). “Once achieved, the upgraded capacity is expected to address the increasing water demand in Samarahan, specifically in Samarindah, Batu 7 area, Kampung Tanjung Parang, including Kampung Baru, and other areas under the Kuching Water Board. “While anticipating the fulfilment of water demand by March next year, the board is simultaneously pursuing an additional 100 MLD increase in the Batu Kitang supply plant “Combining this with another 800 MLD, the total capacity is projected to reach 984 MLD,” he said during the Kuching Water Board Excellent Service Award (APC) ceremony at the Hikmah Exchange Event Centre last night (Dec 1). He said this is also anticipated to be a crucial solution to meet the escalating demand in Kuching city and its surrounding areas supplied with treated and clean water by the Kuching Water Board. “The current capacity, although at 10 percent, falls short of the 30 percent deemed necessary for water supply projects in densely populated regions. “Recognizing this, the government is actively involved, fostering awareness and facilitating water supply expansion beyond Kuching’s city limits,” he added. In parallel, he said the Sarawak Government has approved a budget to replace and upgrade distribution pipes, addressing the wear and tear evident in the existing water supply system throughout Sarawak. This effort includes the water supply system in Kuching City, aiming for an extensive overhaul starting next year.
