The group said the agreement entered on matters relating to the operations and maintenance of the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plant Works Phase 1 (SSP1) have become unconditional and been completed.
With the completion of the agreement, Sungai Harmoni will commence operating and maintaining the SSP1 under the Bulk Water Supply Agreement (BWSA) from Sept 13, 2019 onwards.
