MIRI: Two concrete drain upgrading projects at Krokop and Piasau Jaya will be completed within the next two months.

Mayor of Miri City Council (MCC) Adam Yii said the upgrading projects are vital to solve the frequent flash flood in the two places.

“MCC has always wanted to solve the flash flood problem in Krokop,” he told the press during a site inspection of the upgrading work at Piasau Jaya yesterday.

He said work on the 600-metre drain in Krokop would be linked to the monsoon drain not far away, and would be completed next month.

The drain upgrading project at Piasau Jaya 1E (near SK Anchi) would be completed by October. It would be a covered drain for the pupils’ safety.

Yii said he was generally satisfied with the progress of the two projects.
