The Palembang City Sanitation Project (PCSP) is co-financed by the Australian Government and the Government of Indonesia (Central, Provincial and Local Government funds) and will build a Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plant and Pumping Station in Palembang City, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The project is designed to demonstrate a new model for delivering large scale municipal infrastructure in Indonesia: one that ensures much greater engagement and ownership by the Local Government, and provides the requisite technical support to ensure improved quality and sustainability of the investment.

The PCSP has three components: (i) a wastewater treatment plant, pumping station, and effluent outfall to the Musi river; (ii) a pressure main to the treatment plant; and (iii) a gravity fed wastewater sewerage system.

The PCSP will service about 12,000 domestic and commercial properties (comprising about 60,000 beneficiaries) in the central urban districts of Palembang. The design and specifications for the works have been prepared to international best practice.
