Kampung Serudung Laut is a remote village located in Sabah, East Malaysia, near the border to Indonesia. The village is inaccessible by road and it takes a 2.5 hours ride by boat from Kalabakan town to get there. The village consists of 302 villagers and there is no public utility e.g. electricity, water and telephone and boats are the only means of transportation.

The main source of clean water for consumption is rain water, however, during draught season water has to be fetched from the nearby river, Serudung. The river is muddy and the crocodiles in the river are a continuous threat to the villagers.

Numerous wells have previously been dug around the village to source underground water, however, the underground water in the area is unsuitable for consumption as it carries a pungent smell. Therefore, a nearby spring has been chosen as the most suitable source of water to supply the village. The only way to share the water is to direct it to a reservoir on higher ground from where it will flow by gravitational force to the village, using a SQFlex - Solar Powered Water Supply System.

A water system directs the water to a 900 gallons reservoir tank where solar panels power a submersible pump inside the tank. The pump pushes the water to two 400 gallons tanks located on a platform about 30 meters higher and 200 meters away. Where the water is piped to a 400 gallons tank located near the primary school at the centre of the village, another pipe is led to a jetty, where villagers living on the other side of the river have access to water.

This project was initiated to provide safe water to the ethnic community of 302 people living in a very remote area of Malaysia by using a Grundfos SQFlex Solar pump system.Without the safe water system the villagers would otherwise have to rely on rainwater or the nearby river, risking getting attacked by crocodiles.
