The Macau Government is allocating a total of MOP8.48 million for this year and next for wastewater treatment systems and maintenance for Taipa and the Airport.
The notice published in yesterday’s Official Gazette says the wastewater treatment systems and maintenance service has been awarded to joint venture Waterleau – Beijing GSS. Waterleau Macau Lda is a subsidiary of Belgium’s Waterleau Global Water Technology NV.
According to the Official Gazette, the amount will be paid in two instalments. This year, the consortium will receive a total of MOP4.6 million from the Macau Government, and in 2015 some MOP3.9 million.
Last year, the Financial Services Bureau (DSF) confirmed that disgraced former Secretary Ao Man Long’s 20 percent stake in Waterleau had been transferred to the government.
At the time of the trial, the Court of Final Appeal said that the shares were a bribe given to Ao to ensure that Waterleau Macau’s Belgian parent company, Waterleau Global Water Technology NV, won contracts for wastewater treatment plants in Coloane.
