KUCHING: A total of 335 new householdswill benefit when the upgrading works on the Water Treatment Plant in Stapang is completed.
Assistant Minister of Water Supply Datuk Liwan Lagang said the project had been approved by the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development for implementation and consultants had been appointed to do the design works.
Now the Ministry requires that it has to go through various processes including the implementation of the Value Management Lab before the project is tendered out.
“The Ministry of Rural and Regional Development will hold the Value Management Lab on the Upgrading of the Sekuau Selangau Water Treatment Plant Project by the middle of November 2018 to refine the effectiveness of this project,” he said when replying to Ir Christopher Gira Anak Sambang (BN-Tamin) in the august House yesterday.
As to when the people in the area will be able to enjoy clean treated water, he said, he believed the answer to the question had been answered by the people themselves and the request had been forwarded to the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development under the 11th Malaysia Plan for consideration.
“And it is up to my good friend the MP for Selangau who is also Works Minister to assist in bringing this up because I understand and I am confident that he also wants the people in Selangau to enjoy treated water supply such as this.
“YB for Tamin, rest assured that our friend will assist. Everyday together with the Minister of Rural and Regional Development and every time there is meeting, I think, in the federal cabinet, it will be brought up,” Liwan said.
