KUALA LUMPUR: The government aims to reduce non-revenue water to 31% by 2025, a significant decrease from the current 37.1%, which equates to a daily loss of 7,195 million litres of treated water worth over RM2bil annually, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof .
"Under the Pipe Replacement Programme, 1,844km of ageing and critical pipes across Malaysia will be replaced," Fadillah said in his opening speech at the Water Loss Asia 2024 conference here today. Fadillah also highlighted that the government intends to implement comprehensive NRW reduction solutions in Pahang, Kelantan, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.
"This initiative aligns with the Malaysia Madani vision of improving the well-being of the people while supporting the sixth goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals , which focuses on ensuring access to sustainable water management and sanitation for all," he said.
