SEPANG, May 23 (Bernama) -- The Sungai Labu water treatment plant project here, which is expected to be fully operational by year's end, is capable to supply 105 million litres of treated water daily to KL International Airport (KLIA) and the surrounding areas.
Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui said he was satisfied with the progress of the project so far.
"The project is part of water mitigation programmes to overcome the shortage of water supply in Selangor pending the implementation of the Pahang-Selangor raw water transfer and Langat 2 Water Treatment Plant project," he told reporters after visiting the plant site here Monday.
Sungai Labu water treatment plant project was implemented under the second economic stimulus package by Pengurusan Aset Air Berhad at a cost of RM84.213 million.
Meanwhile, Chin said the construction of Langat 2 Water Treatment Plant, which is part of Pahang-Selangor raw water transfer project, should not be delayed any further.
"We have to start implementing the project. If not, we cannot catch up with the construction of the tunnel which is 37 per cent completed.
"We have to synchronise the construction of the plant and the tunnel. When the tunnel is ready, the water will start flowing and we must have a plant ready to treat the raw water," he said.
However, Chin said the project was still pending as the Selangor government had yet to issue the development order.
He said the project must be completed by 2014 to prevent shortage of water supply for residents in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya.- BERNAMA
