Phase I will bring the gift of clean water to seven districts located on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, encompassing Dangkor Por Senchey, select areas of Meanchey, Sen Sok, Russey Keo, Kambol, as well as two communes within Prek Pnov and the vibrant Takhmao City.

Moving forward, Phase II of the Bak Kheng water treatment plant, boasting an impressive production capacity of 195,000 cubic meters per day, has surpassed the 70% completion milestone.
