The renovation project on To Hap Town Waste Water Treatment Plant invested by Khanh Hoa Water Supply & Sewerage Company in Khanh Son District has been completed, helping to improve thousands of local residents’ access to clean water.
Local residents in To Hap Town used to suffer from the lack of clean water as the water supply was old and decrepit. Due to substandard quality water treatment, treated water did not meet the drinking water standard regulated by the Ministry of Health.
Khanh Hoa Water Supply & Sewerage Company has taken over To Hap Town water supply system under the decision by Khanh Hoa People’s Committee. The company has developed a renovation design project on To Hap Town Waste Water Treatment Plant with a total capital of some VND18 billion.
