Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) has announced the opening of the bidding process for a US$350 million water treatment plant, according to an interview with PPWSA Director General of H.E Sim Sitha by Construction & Property Magazine on 20 March 2019.

According to H.E Sim Sitha, this project will be constructed on 10 hectares of land, in Bak Khaeng, Chrouy Changva, Ta Set, close to the Morodok Techo National Sports Complex. It will have pumping station, water treatment plant, and pipe system that can generate up to 400,000 cubic metres of clean water per day to support around 50,000 households.

“This project is still in the process of planning and is calling for tenders from international company such as VINCI from France, China Gezhouba Group Company Limited (CGGC) from China, TEDAGUA-REI from Spain and Malaysia to work on this project, as construction is scheduled to begin in September 2019 for a 4-year period,” he said.

He added that this water treatment plant will be built using the latest technology for purifying the water, and will undergo quality control by PPWSA experts. In addition, the water will also be sent to Singapore Productivity and Standards Board (PSB) for testing and quality control.

Currently, there are four water treatment plants in Phnom Penh, for which three are in operation and are generating about 560,000 cubic metres of clean water per day. Another plant is still under construction which is scheduled to be completed in October 2019 where it will be able to generate 50,000 cubic metres of clean water per day to support the water needs of 700,000 households.
