The waterworks are built in Co Do and Phong Van communes (Ba Vi district), Hiep Thuan and Lien Hiep communes (Phuc Tho district), and Huong Son commune (My Duc district).
The remaining projects in Tam Hung and Thanh Thuy communes (Thanh Oai district) Lien Phuong, Van Tao, Ha Hoi, Hong Van and Thu Phu communes (Thuong Tin district), Trung Hoa and Truong Yen communes (Chuong My district) are expected to be put into operation soon.
The facilities have also supplied water to more than 22,000 households of communes adjacent to the targeted localities.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has coordinated with the WB to carry out a programme on clean water and rural sanitation in eight Red River Delta provinces during 2013-2017.
The project has enabled 60,000 rural households to access clean water and more than 20,180 households to use hygienic latrines.
Within the framework of the programme, the municipal and provincial Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development, Education and Training, and Health have organised training courses to equip officials involved in the project with supervision and evaluation skills, and raise public awareness of clean water.
