The Private Water Supply Agreement is essential for establishing legally binding water supply arrangements in Malaysia, particularly for industrial, commercial, and large-scale residential developments. This document is required when private entities need dedicated water supply services beyond standard public utilities, typically involving specific quality requirements, volume guarantees, or pressure specifications. The agreement must comply with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Water Services Industry Act 2006 and state-specific water enactments. It includes detailed technical specifications, pricing structures, service levels, and maintenance obligations, while addressing risk allocation and regulatory compliance. This agreement type is commonly used in industrial parks, commercial complexes, housing developments, and specialized facilities requiring customized water supply arrangements.
