A Chinese construction company won a bid to construct a wastewater treatment sub-project in the town of Battambang province in northwest Cambodia.

Cambodian Minister of Public Works and Transport Sun Chanthol said the ministry awarded the 9.36-million-U.S.-dollar contract to the Chinese company after the firm won a public tender in November.

Under the contract, the company will construct a 15-km sewer pipe in Battambang town. The firm will also restore and clean a total of 4,000 square meters of wastewater canals.
