Malaysia Plans Water Treatment Plant

The Malaysian state of Selangor is to build a water treatment plant, Langat 2, which will prevent water shortages for consumers in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.

The project will cost MYR268.5 ($87m), which includes the construction of the entry / exit road, installation of water pipes and the design and installation of valves.

The plant will supply 1,890l of raw water daily from Pahang and will be ready by May 2014.

The entire Pahang-Selangor Interstate Water Transfer Project, of which Langat 2 is part, will cost an estimated MYR8.65bn ($2.8bn).
