Cambodia to Build More Water Treatment Plants in All Coastal & Riverside Provinces

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen said that Cambodia will build more standardised sewage systems and wastewater treatment plants in all coastal and riverside provinces to promote sustainable development.

PM Hun Sen made the remarks during the site visit to various infrastructure developments in Sihanoukville on 1 December.

“Modern cities do not need only big beautiful roads and high-rise buildings, but more importantly, they need proper waste management systems,” said PM Hun Sen.

“Therefore, in the future, Cambodia plans to build more wastewater treatment plants in provinces such as Koh Kong, Kampot, Kep, and other provinces along the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers to ensure that the water is treated before discharging to natural water sources,” he added.

The three Sihanoukville water treatment plants were and are being built with modern technologies to ensure that the treated water is clean, odourless, and non-toxic.

The first wastewater treatment plant (PS1) is located in Village 1 and has a treatment capacity of 5,200 cubic metres per day. The second one is located in Village 4 and has a treatment capacity of 7,200 cubic metres per day.

The third is under construction and will be able to treat up to 20,000 cubic metres of wastewater per day upon completion.

PM Hun Sen also stated that with three plants combined, treated water will be over 30,000 cubic metres per day, which local people can reuse to water their crops or other purposes if needed free of charge.
