The Coastal Cities Environmental Sanitation Project, Nha Trang City sub-project, is funded by the World Bank (WB) with a capital of USD93.6 million, including USD50.4 million for a waste water collection and treatment component in the central and southern city. The components consist of 68km of drainage, 8,160 kerb inlets, 6 pump stations, 10 combined sewer overflows (CSOs) and a modern waste water treatment plant with a capacity of 40,000m3/ day and night located in Phuoc Dong.
Since the waste water treatment plant was put into operation, the waste water treatment capacity has reached 25,000m3/ day and night, more than 50% of designed capacity. Besides, the plant has received and treated sludge, about 80m3 a day, from enterprises and households. The sludge collection and treatment has helped reduce environmental pollution.
The sewerage connection rate to administrative and non-productive agencies is nearly 93%, production enterprises, restaurants, hotels over 47% and households 10% (nearly 85% in new urban areas), according to a report from Nha Trang City Urban Management Division. Chau Ngo Anh Nhan, Director of Khanh Hoa Development Project Management Board says the existing urban sewage system with combined sewer overflows is still used to bring waste water to the treatment plants. The third-level kerb inlets are invested connecting to households. Khanh Hoa has allocated VND14 billion from the state budget through loans provided by the Bank for Social Policies to accelerate the connection rate, striving to reach over 80% by 2022.
Reportedly, the Coastal Cities Sustainable Environment Project, Nha Trang City sub-project (2017-2022) agreement is expected to be signed this June and some small construction packages will be developed in the 4th quarter of 2017. The project is to reduce the incidence and severity of flooding and improve sanitation through waste water collection and treatment; traffic connection and infrastructures along the bank of southern Cai River ( Nha Trang City) from Ha Ra Bridge to the railway bridge. The development of the project works towards improving the rainwater and waste water collection and treatment to improve the environmental sanitation in the project cities in a sustainable manner.
The total cost of the project has a total capital of USD72 million (WB capital) is designed to contribute to improving the waste water drainage and treatment system in northern Nha Trang City with 6.5km of public culverts and 11km of private drainage culverts, 95km of 3rd - level culverts, replacing 6,500 kerb inlets, 5 pump stations, 6 combined sewer overflows, rain flow regulating ponds and a waste water plant with a 15,000m3/ day and night for the northern residential area.
