KUALA LUMPUR – A feasibility analysis is still being carried out for the proposed Sg Rasau water treatment plant, Selangor state assembly was told today.
Exco Izham Hashim (Pandan Indah-Pakatan Harapan) said the project is expected to be completed in 2024, after a question by Michelle Ng (Subang Jaya-PH).
“The study is expected to be completed this November and Air Selangor will call for a tender for other detailed specification studies and procurement systems (of the project).
“This is a very important project. Failure is not an option. It will be completed by 2024 – four years from now,” said Izham, who oversees infrastructure, public facilities, modernisation, agriculture and agro-based industries.
He added that the Sg Rasau water treatment plant has the capacity to pump out 700 million litres a day, which will be supplied to Klang district.
