Speaking at this event was Deputy Energy Transition and Public Water Transformation Minister, Akmal Nasrullah Mohd Nasir, mentioned that the government has set a target to reach 98% coverage of clean water and sewerage in rural areas which now stands at 97.1% for clean water and 84.4% for sewerage. According to him, one of the ways that have been set to achieve this target is by investing in upgrading the water infrastructures which is mostly at a critical point now. Also highlighted by him was the Nation’s plan to reduce the NRW rate to 31% by 2025. It stands at 50% average now. This is a good opportunity for AVK to bring our quality product into this plan that aligns with the statement given by the minister.
