KUALA LUMPUR: The government aims to reduce non-revenue water (NRW) to 31% by 2025, a significant decrease from the current 37.1%, which equates to a daily loss of 7,195 million litres of treated water worth over RM2bil annually, according to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.

Fadillah, who is also the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry, said that key initiatives under the NRW programme to address this ongoing issue include the replacement of ageing pipes and the introduction of improved reimbursement frameworks.
