ADF offers 14.5 Million USD for Cambodia to improve clean water supply

Agency for Development of France (ADF) has offered 11.1 million euro (around 14.5 million U. S. dollars) in loan for Water Supply Authority of Cambodia to improve its capacity of clean water supply for Phnom Penh and its neighboring town Takhmoa, Kandal province, an official told Xinhua by phone on Friday.
"
The loan will be used for building a new clean water supply factory at Chroy Chang Var commune in Phnom Penh to improve the clean water network of the main water station in Phnom and expand the clean water distribution to the outskirts of Phnom Penh," said Ek Son Chan, Head of Water Supply Authority.

This can help facilitate the government to achieve the Millennium Development Goal for public health, he said.
Meanwhile, the authority currently aims to set up a master plan for enlarging the capacity of the clean water supply for 160,000 families in Phnom Penh and neighboring provinces of Kandal and Kompong Speu from 2009 to 2010, he said.
