The Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority will increase water production by 30,000 cubic metres for Takhmao city by 2024 to meet the increasing demand stem from population growth and the new Phnom Penh Airport investment project.

HE Long Naro, Director General of Phnom Penh Water Supply, unveiled the plan in a meeting with HE Kong Sophoan, Governor of Kandal Province, on 2 November.

In the meeting, HE Long Naro said besides the increase of 30,000 cubic metres by 2024, the authority will increase production by 60,000 cubic metres more by 2030 so that it will be enough to cover the demand of the whole Takhmao city.

The plan was made in response to the request made by HE Kong Sophoan to ensure sustainable use of clean water throughout Takhmao city.

The demand for potable water in the capital region of Phnom Penh and Takmao is currently at 700,000 to 800,000 cubic meters daily. The current PPWSA production capability is only 600,000 cubic metres daily, which falls short.
