Bernama:Negeri Sembilan Has No Problem Selling Water To Selangor - MB

Negeri Sembilan has no problem selling its water to Selangor when the Sungai Triang Dam and Sungai Ngoi-Ngoi Water Treatment Plant, here, are completed at the end of this year, or early next year.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said this was because both projects when operational, would produce excess clean water which could be sold.

"We will give assistance. We will do anything in the interest of the people, but how much we sell per litre is another thing," he said after chairing a state executive council meeting, here, Wednesday.

He said currently, Negeri Sembilan did not have excess water for sale as 70 million gallons of water were used daily in the Seremban district alone while the Sungai Terip Water Treatment Plant only produced 65 million gallons per day.

"But when the dam and plant are ready and start to operate, they are expected to produce around 60 million gallons of clean water a day to meet the shortfall in the district and have excess for sale, he said.-- BERNAMA
