March 30, 2017

The volume of waste water declined from 54 per cent to 14 per cent during the past 18 months of projects implemented in South Okkalapa and Insein townships, Yangon region by Manila Water Mitsubishi Consortium, according to the consortium.

The MMC, a joint effort between Manila Water and the Japanese giant Mitsubishi Corporation, recently completed its 18-month initial phase to overhaul the water distribution system within Yangon.. The volume of wasted water was redistributed to about 4,000 houses.

As a result of the MMC projects, old water meter boxes have been replaced to greater benefit the Yangon City Development Committee (YCDC).

The volume of wasted water in Insein township was 17.32 per cent in August, down from 52 per cent in March, last year whereas the volume of wasted water in South Okkalapa was 12.19 per cent in November, down from 57 per cent in September, last year.
