Kuching residents report discoloured tap water as Sarawak Water rushes to fix pipeline issues
Residents across several areas in Kuching Division have been complaining about murky, discoloured water coming from their taps over the past days.
Sarawak Water confirmed it has mobilised its operations and technical teams to carry out intensive flushing works (water pipe cleaning) at affected locations. According to the agency, the issue is believed to be caused by muddy water and sediment disturbances within the distribution pipeline system — triggered by changes in water flow and ongoing stabilisation of the water supply system.
"Sarawak Water is treating this matter seriously, and continuous field monitoring is being conducted to ensure that conditions return to normal as quickly as possible," the agency said in a Facebook post.
Affected areas: Kuching Division (multiple locations)
Status: Ongoing — flushing works underway, monitoring continues
