The Public Works Ministry and city tap water company PDAM Klungkung are to jointly cooperate in the construction of a seawater desalination plant on Nusa Ceningan islet, Bali.
The plant will turn seawater into drinkable water for Nusa Ceningan,” said the director of PDAM Klungkung, Gede Darsana, on Sunday, as quoted by MetroBali. Darsana said that the installation on Nusa Ceningan was expected to solve the clean water problem faced by residents on the islet and the neighboring Lembongan islet. Both islands are tourism destinations, and thus, he said, clean water infrastructure was urgently required.
The ministry planned to support the plant in terms of construction, operational and management costs for the next five years.
