Bridge Data Centres (BDC) will be the first data centre in Johor, Malaysia, to repurpose treated effluent as reclaimed water for operational use following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Johor Special Water (JSW), BDC said in its Linkedin post today. The MOU is made possible through strong collaboration with Indah Water Konsortium (IWK), JSW, and Permodalan Darul Ta’zim (PDT), it added.
“Together, we’re working to reduce reliance on potable water while supporting Johor’s broader environmental agenda. It also aligns with our ESG commitments and long-term water sustainability goals,” BDC said.
The company also said that its Water Reclaimable Plant (WRP) is currently in its testing and commissioning phase, and will soon be fully operational — establishing a new benchmark in green data centre practices within the region.
Following a visit to the Pelangi Indah Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) and Water Reclaimable Plant (WRP) last week together with staff from the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) Southern Region, BDC highlighted the success of its collaborative model and the critical role such public-private partnerships play in supporting Johor’s water sustainability agenda.
