Construction of the Choeung Aek water treatment station in Phnom Penh broke ground in late May. The facility will treat waste water, improve water quality and the environment and enhance the capital’s appearance.
A grant from the Japanese government will finance the project with construction scheduled for completion in mid-November of 2023, said Phnom Penh municipal governor Khuong Sreng on June 2.
“This project is the first of its kind in Phnom Penh to treat waste water that will flow into the Choeung Aek Lake and improve the environment around the lake and in southern areas of Phnom Pehn,” he said in a notice.

Around 1,500 tonnes of rubbish, mostly plastic, was removed from the capital’s Boeung Trabek canal last month – an amount officials said was huge but less than before.
Duong Chansarath, head of the drainage and sewage unit at the Phnom Penh municipal Department of Public Works and Transport, said his team had disposed of waste that was blocking the sewage canal from March 10-31 in a bid to reduce flooding in the coming rainy season.
