Langat 2 will change dynamics of supply and demand of water in the state

The Pahang-Selangor raw water transfer tunnel at the Langat 2 water treatment plant in Hulu Langat.

GIVEN the implications of Section 114 of the Water Services Industry Act (Wasia) 2006, the four concessionaires would still have control but when the Langat 2 water treatment project is completed, another 1.2 million litres of treated water will flow into Selangor. That will change the dynamics of supply and demand which is currently in favour of the concessionaires.

The opposing concessionaires - Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (Splash), Puncak Niaga Holdings Bhd (PNHB), and Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) - currently supply 70% of the treated water but with Langat 2 in the picture, their contribution will no longer be dominant.
