Description
The project will provide additional new and rehabilitated water supply infrastructure and extend system
coverage to expand access to safe water in nine towns. The project will also provide piped water supply
to an additional 58,000 residents through (i) a new water supply system in Stung Treng, (ii) a new
distribution zone in Siem Reap, and (iii) system expansion in Kampong Cham and Svay Rieng. In addition,
the project will rehabilitate existing water treatment plants in seven towns. The project interventions will
replicate initiatives that made PPWSA successful and build on PPWSA experience. It will also incorporate
lessons from previous ADB projects. The project will help the PWW's reduce real NRW levels to below
15% by using improved material and construction practices in its works to complement ongoing NRW
reduction initiatives by the service providers and other development partners
