PETALING JAYA: The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) says it has yet to receive any application for the RM5 billion Northern Perak Water Supply Scheme (NPWSS), despite reports about a joint venture appointed by the Perak government planning to carry out the project.
SPAN said while private sector involvement in water projects is encouraged under the government’s Water Transformation Plan 2040, all parties must follow the law.
“As the body regulating the water services industry, SPAN is responsible for ensuring the planning, development and distribution of water are done in accordance with the provisions of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 and its subsidiary legislation.
