Serba Dinamik Annual Report 2018

SERBA DINAMIK HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 99 Sewerage Treatment The sewerage treatment system in Peninsular Malaysia can be segmented into two main categories, namely connected sewerage services, and the septic tank and pour flush system. The connected sewerage treatment system channels household, commercial and industrial wastewater through connected pipes to the sewerage treatment plant (STP). The septic tank and pour flush system contains wastewater in a tank, and solid waste is broken down in the tank before liquid effluent is released into the drain. The septic tank and pour flush system generally results in negative environmental effects. In 2016, approximately 70% of the sewerage treatment system in Peninsular Malaysia is supported by public and private STP, covering approximately 27.8 million population equivalent (PE). In the 11th Malaysia Plan, the government focused on improving the country’s sewerage system to address environmental pollution and safeguard public health. The government aims to reduce the use of individual septic tank and pour flush systems by developing 80% sewerage connected services coverage in Malaysia, especially in main cities by 2020. The SPAN initiated the National Sewerage Master Plan to provide integrated and holistic long-term policy direction to encourage migration from individual septic tanks and pour flush systems to standardised treatment systems to minimise pollution.
