The wastewater treatment station has the total investment caital of more than 16,000 billion VND.
Director of the municipal Department of Construction Le Van Duc said that the project includes four components, including the building of the Yen Xa wastewater treatment station.
Other three components aim to build 52.61 km-long drainage systems along the Lich, Lu, and Nhue rivers.
