Covering an area of 63,462 sq.m in Tay Ninh city with a design capacity of 5,000 cu.m per day, the project consists of two main items - a wastewater treatment plant and a wastewater collection pipeline system.

The first phase of the project will cost over 335 billion VND (over 13.5 million USD).

Once completed, the plant will collect and treat all wastewater from households in wards 1, 2, 3, 4 and a part of Hiep Ninh ward in Tay Ninh city.

The plant’s capacity is expected to increase to 10,000 cu.m in the second phase.
