This remarkable progress report was unveiled by the Department of Public Works and Transport of Phnom Penh on the mentioned date.

Upon full operation, this state-of-the-art wastewater treatment plant is geared to manage a staggering 5,000 cubic meters of wastewater each day. This monumental endeavor also encompasses the establishment of 22 pumping stations, each capable of efficiently pumping 468 cubic meters of water per hour.
