Kelantan allocates RM141.2 mln to replace old pipes in four districts
The Kelantan government has allocated a total of RM141.2 million since 2019 for the replacement of 226 kilometres of old pipes.
State Public Works, Infrastructure, Transport and Utility Committee chairman Datuk Azami Mohd Nor said the pipe replacement involved four districts namely Tanah Merah, Kuala Krai, Kota Bharu, and Machang.
“The latest under package three includes Kota Bharu Utara, Kota Bharu Timur, Tumpat, Kota Bharu 11 and Kota Bharu Selatan, where tender documents for 95km of pipelines are currently being prepared.
“The completion is expected in 2024,” he said in response to a question from Rohani Ibrahim (PAS-Tanjong Mas) during the State Legislative Assembly sitting yesterday.
Azami further said that the construction of the well at the Tanjong Mas facility under the first package is still underway and has already reached 77 per cent completion.
“Under package two for the construction of the Tanjong Mas Water Treatment Plant (LRA), we are planning a water capacity of 30 million litres per day and the bidding process is expected this month,” he said.
Azami said a loan is still being sought for the proposal to upgrade the Merbau Chondong treatment plant system, which is expected to be completed in 2024.
