Indah Water Konsortium Sdn. Bhd. (doing business as Indah Water or IWK) is a Malaysian national wastewater and sanitation company.[3] It is a government-owned company under the Minister of Finance Incorporated, which has the task of developing and maintaining a modern and efficient sewerage system for West Malaysia.[3] Its operations and management was well-organized in compliance with standards from the Department of Environment.[4]
Indah Water was established on 2 April 1994[1] when the Federal Government granted the company, a concession for nationwide sewerage services which prior to that, was under the responsibility of local authorities.[3] Since then, the company has taken over the sewerage services from local authorities in all areas except the States of Sabah and Sarawak.[3] [5]
In June 2000, the Government ensured that a well-organized and efficient sewerage system was maintained effectively. The Minister of Finance Incorporated has acquired all equity in Indah Water from its former private owners.[3]
The company shares its wastewater management expertise with several Asian countries under their IWK 2020 Transformation Plan (ITP2020), which was initiated in 2017. The plan will focus on four different pillars namely human capital development, innovation, automation and technology.[6]
As of February 2019, Indah Water served more than 25 million population equivalent, operate and maintain more than 7,000 sewage treatment plants and around 20,000 km underground sewage pipelines.[7]
