Jakarta, February 7, 2003 (Islam Online) - Mrs. Lan Tang Hok, 43, can start saving
money to buy more food for her seven children since piped water from the Phnom
Penh Water Supply Authority (PWSA) has reached her home.
Lan Tang Hok, who lives in the Pra You Vong slum area in
Phnom Penh, Cambodia, used to pay 1,000 riels a day for water she bought from
private water vendors. Nowadays, she spends only about 5,000 riels per month
for the water supplied by the PWSA, since the water authority has expanded its
services to her poor neighborhood.
