Phnom Penh: The Phnom Penh Municipal Administration continues to prioritize the rehabilitation of the drainage system in Khan 7 Makara to prevent flooding on major roads after the rehabilitation of the drainage system and the cleaning of storm drains in Khan Kandal Kor were carried out continuously, while Khan 7 Makara is the next one after Khan Chamkar Morn and Khan Daun Penh.
Actually, on the morning of July 13, 2026, Mr. Ek Khundoeun, Deputy Governor of Phnom Penh, representing Mr. Khuong Sreng, Governor of Phnom Penh, led a team to restore the drainage system to remove mud and garbage that could block the flow of rain, starting from Road No. 211 and going to other important roads such as Road No. 215, Road No. 182, approximately 3,234 meters of Khan 7 Makara, which is a priority district and is located in the center of Phnom Penh.
On this occasion, Mr. Ek Khun Doeun instructed the team to follow the instructions of Mr. Khuong Sreng, the Governor of Phnom Penh, who instructed to pay attention to any roads or areas that need immediate rehabilitation to ensure that the sewer system is not blocked by waste and garbage, aiming to open the sewer face cleanly and allow rainwater to flow out quickly.
In that, Mr. Ek Khun Doen also had the team check the sewer system that has not yet been connected to drains to be connected, while the sewer network that has not been opened to the public must be opened because some pumping stations have been built and can ensure the flow of rainwater.
Seizing the opportunity, the Phnom Penh Municipal Administration also appealed to all citizens not to pour manure, put up garbage on the sewer cover, and fill it with soil to block the sewer.
The campaign to restore sewers, septic tanks, mud and garbage in the five central districts of the city is a plan of the Phnom Penh Municipal Government, and these works are carried out under the supervision of Mr. Khuong Sreng, the Governor of Phnom Penh, in the plan to prepare for the release of rainwater to avoid flooding of houses and infrastructure during the rainy season.
It should be noted that the current restoration and removal of garbage from the sewer system in 7 Makara District is an extension of the restoration and removal of garbage and mud activities that continue in other important districts, especially the five districts in the center of Phnom Penh. The Phnom Penh administration has also implemented it in Do Penh District, Chamkar Mon District, and 7 Makara District, the third district. The operation to restore the sewer and remove garbage from the sewer system was carried out with several machines from the capital administration and the Phnom Penh Department of Public Works and Transport.
