KUCHING, Sept 3 2026: Sarawak Water Sdn Bhd has assured that the current water level at Bengoh Dam will continue to be monitored by its technical team.
The state-owned agency said that the situation is under control.
“Despite the decrease in water levels, the raw water supply for water treatment plant operations is currently still sufficient and water supply operations are continuing as usual,” it said in a statement posted on its Facebook account.
It added it will continue to monitor the dam levels, weather conditions and supply requirements to ensure that appropriate management measures can be implemented early if the situation changes.
“The public is encouraged to continue to use water prudently and is also advised to obtain information from its official channels for the latest and most authentic information.
“It will continue to provide updates from time to time if there are any changes that require the public's attention,” Sarawak Water said.
“So far, the situation is under control and the raw water supply for water treatment plant operations is still sufficient,” it added.
Bengoh dam is
Bengoh Dam is a major water reservoir project located about 40 kilometers south of Kuching, built to secure the region's clean water supply.
Built on the Sungai Bengoh river, it supplies raw water to the Batu Kitang water treatment plant to meet Kuching and Kota Samarahan's growing demands up to 2030.
It is a water storage and flood mitigation project, not a hydroelectric plant.
