RURAL WATER SUPPLY

It is the oldest programme in Engineering Services Division where it incorporates simple technological
principles on design, construction and maintenance for the provision of rural water supply. The
requirement for the systems is to deliver enough quantities of water that meets the basic health and
hygiene requirements at minimum cost. These systems produce untreated but wholesome water and
therefore the rural people are advised to boil it if used for their drinking water supply. The types of
systems installed under this programme throughout the rural areas in Malaysia are the gravity-feed
system, sanitary well, sanitary well with house connection, rainwater collection system and connection
to public water supply systems (where available).

The development of rural water supply component in the water supply and rural environmental sanitation
programme is planned according to the 5 years Malaysia Development Plan. In 2017, a total number
of 937 water supply systems were installed and provided clean water to 2,740 houses. At the end of
