RI, Malaysia firms tie up

JAKARTA (JP): A consortium of a local and a foreign company is
planning to undertake a water treatment project in Padang, West
Java, in cooperation with the city's water company.

PT Bina Citra Nusantara and Malaysia's Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd
signed an agreement over the weekend to develop the project.

Bina Citra president Rusmazar Ruzuar said, "The consortium
agreed to build several water treatment plants and 100,000
additional water connections in Padang."

The first phase of the project would start in six months with
the construction of a water treatment plant operating at 500
liters a second, he said.

The first phase was expected to be completed in 1999, before
the consortium would start building a second water treatment
plant with equal capacity, he said. (02)
