Sarawak Water Berhad has verified a breach in the 1,100 mm raw‐water transmission main feeding the Miri Water Treatment Plant. Consequently, about 70 percent of Miri’s residents will face water interruptions tomorrow (July 15).

The defect was discovered late last night along the Liwan River stretch of the pipeline. Sarawak Water’s emergency response team was dispatched immediately and is now excavating at the suspected leak site. Technicians estimate repairs will require 12 to 18 hours, during which intake of untreated river water to the plant must be halted.

Areas likely to experience reduced or no supply include:
– Piasau, Kuala Baram and Lambir areas
– Tudan, Senadin and Pujut suburbs
– Sections of Tudan Heights and Permyjaya

Sarawak Water recommends households begin storing adequate water for drinking, cooking and basic sanitation from this evening. Bulk users such as hotels, schools and factories are urged to activate their backup tanks. The company will also deploy water bowsers to strategic points around the city to support vulnerable communities, elderly‐care homes and clinics.

Progress updates on repairs and restoration schedules will be posted on Sarawak Water’s official website and social‐media channels. Management apologises for the inconvenience and thanks the public for their cooperation during this unplanned shutdown.
