NSS – Dec 28 

An agreement for ‘Build, Operate, Transfer (BOT)’ in Myeik Town has been signed by the Taninthayi Region government and BBWI & MCPC Co., Ltd.

The building period for the project is expected to take three years. Upon completion of the project, residential houses and industrial sites in Myeik Town will be able to access the water. 

An official from the company told NP News, “Freshwater is rare in Myeik Town. Therefore, the industrial sector in Myeik will be able to access the freshwater easily if the water distribution project is completed. The public will also have a chance to use the good water. At present, we have to pay K2,000 for a unit of water in Myeik. What is more, the water quality isn’t good. Therefore, we hope many benefits will be reaped from this project.”  

The recently signed water distribution project is expected to provide good impacts for the local public in accessible for good quality tap water and drinking water. In addition, fresh water will also be delivered to the businesses including the fish auction center.
