The aim of this WOP is to improve water quality management since PDAM currently faces water quality issues at the raw water source, and Ranhill holds a vast experience in providing safer quality water supply to nearly three million residents in the state of Johor in Malaysia.
Project main objectives
The focus of this project between RANHILL and PDAM TK is on improving the treatment process of one of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Pontianak and to prepare the water safety plan that can later be replicated to other WTPs in Indonesia.
