USAID is facilitating a twinning partnership between Ranhill Utilities Berhad of Malaysia and the Thailand Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) to support PWA's plans to improve water quality for residents in Nakorn Nayok Province. Public health in the region is potentially at risk due to irregular turbidity and high manganese levels in the water supply. PWA is working to strengthen its water quality management program and to help optimize its water treatment processes in the Nakorn Nayok Waterworks under the water safety plan (WSP) framework developed by the World Health Organization (WHO). Ranhill will help PWA staff in Nakorn Nayok optimize water treatment operations and strengthen water quality management processes, such as water sampling, record-keeping, and pipeline chlorine residual maintenance.
