Hlegu Township (Burmese: လှည်းကူး မြို့နယ်, pronounced [l̥ɛ́ɡú mjo̰nɛ̀]) is a မြို့နယ် of Yangon Burma, Burma (Myanmar). It is northeast of the city Yangon and is largely rural.
The township's Paunglin Dam and Ngamoeyeik Reservoir supply water to over 28,300 hectares (70,000 acres) of farmland between Hlegu and Mingaladon, and nearly 340 million liters (90 million gallons) of water a day to the people living in Yangon.[1]
The new Yangon-Naypyidaw Highway cuts through the township.[2]
