The French Development Agency plans to invest in a water treatment plant in Sihanoukville and will work out details with Preah Sihanouk provincial authorities in the future. Eva Nguyen Binh, French ambassador to Cambodia, discussed the plan on Tuesday during a meeting with provincial Governor Kuoch Chamroeun at the Provincial Hall.

 

Kheang Phearum, Provincial Hall spokesman, yesterday noted that Ms Binh and Mr Chamroeun discussed several issues and clean water supply in the province was one of them.

 

“Ms Binh noted that AFD has cooperated with Cambodia in the past and invested in clean water supply projects in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap province,” he said. “She said it now wants to invest in setting up a water treatment facility in Sihanoukville to help meet the clean water needs arising from rapid development and a growing population.”

 

Mr Phearum said that Ms Binh also informed Mr Chamroeun that she last visited the province two years ago and noticed how rapidly it had developed during her visits to the Preah Sihanouk Economic Zone and also Russei island and Preah Sihanouk Provincial International Airport which were developed with French assistance.

Seems like an awful long way to ship water to France, from Asia. Why can't they just treat the water in their own country?

Interesting to note that Evian spelled backwards gives you Naive, which anyone would need to be to pay such a price for a bottle of water ????
