Tenders released for new Indonesian WWTPs

摘要

Agroup of development agency-financed centralised wastewater treatment pro-jects are moving to the tender stage in Indonesia. While they could set an example for future wastewater projects, the true test may come after they are built. The first international tenders for two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in the provincial cities of Makassar and Pekan-baru were released by the Asian Develop-ment Bank (ADB) in late January, with a third tender for a WWTP in Jambi expected to follow soon. A total of $96.8 million will be spent on the three WWTPs and con-necting sewerage systems under the Metro-politan Sanitation Management Investment Project, jointly funded by the ADB and the Australian government.
