Japan has expressed happiness on the successful completion of the Melamchi Water Supply Project, the national pride project of Nepal that will distribute safe drinking water to the residents of Kathmandu Valley.
The completion ceremony of the Project was held in Kathmandu on 2 April in the presence of President Bidya Devi Bhandari.
The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) in Sundarijal is a crucial component of the overall project and it was funded by Japan. Japan provided loan assistance of around 5,806 million rupees for the construction of the plant. Japan had signed an E/N on this loan with Nepal in March, 2001 and the construction was completed in December, 2017.
The Plant has the capacity to purify 85 million liters per day, which make clean water for Kathmandu residents to become free from keeping water at tanks at their homes, or fetching water from the communal wells when they need it.
