Clean water in pipeline for Kep

4 May 2014

The Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) will invest $1.3 million in a water treatment plant in Kep province to supply clean water to more than 1,000 households there.

Director-general of the water utility said the project’s top priority was to provide Kep residents with clean water – profits would come later. But in the long term, when an economy of scale can be reached, the project would start to make money for PPWSA, the only listed company on the Kingdom’s stock exchange.

Provincial Governor Ken Sotha told the Post that Kep households rely on their own sources of water, either a well or a pond. Supplies can run short during the dry season. He also estimated that about 1,200 households could benefit from the project.
