World’s largest wastewater service firm is looking to enter Sri Lanka and help modernize the country’s disposal methods, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said in a statement today.
“We are the single largest wastewater management company in the world, well-known for green-tech, microbiology, biotech and nanotech innovations” the statement quoted Devan Iyavoo, Manager - Indah Water Konsortium as saying.
According to the statement, Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) operates under the Malaysian Ministry of Finance. Several Lankan private sector firms engage in wastewater management–some even constructing water infrastructure such as swimming pools-and household water supplies are made through state operated entities.
Minister Bathiudeen and Malaysian Political Secretary Shahlan Ismail delved into bilateral development cooperation aspects during a meeting held last evening as well.
