According to the Sustainable City Development Plan for Phnom Penh (2018-2035), Boeung Trabek, Boeng Tumpun and Boeung Ta Mok have been selected as potential locations for the construction of three projects, which will be implemented in three phases.

The construction of each phase will start in 2026, 2031, and 2035, respectively with the capacity to treat wastewater up to 58,000m3, 38,000m3, and 181,000m3 per day.
