The
rate of progress of building the waste water treatment system in
Bien Hoa new market was inspected |
At the
present, three industrial parks within Dong Nai province – Bien Hoa 2, Amata and
Loteco industrial parks – have built and put their centralized systems of waste
water treatment into operation. Long Binh Agtex industrial park alone built a
centralized system of waste water treatment in the fourth quarter of 2008. The
system is expected to come into operation in 2009. As for collecting and
treating household garbage within the city, People’s Committee of the city gave
26 wards and communes guidance on collaborating with MTV environmental and urban
services company of Bien Hoa in producing statistics, checking and collecting
the local garbage. As a result, the garbage-collected rate reached 85.27% of the
total garbage.
The delegation
met with Dong Xanh environmental joint-stock company (which used to be called Vu
Nhut Hong company) and heard its leadership report the rate of progress of
collecting and treating the company’s garbage. The company has a maximum
capacity of 400 tons/ day and has operated since June 2008. Up to now, it has
collected and treated 300 to 400 tons of household garbage on average every day,
which contributes to collecting and treating the city’s garbage. After the field
trip to the two markets – Hoa An and Bien Hoa – the delegation said: “Market
stands are not arranged systematically. Food stands are in damp conditions and
haven’t met hygienic requirements. Pathways in the market need building on a
slope for good drainage in the rainy season. Especially, Bien Hoa new market
must not come into operation until its new system of waste water treatment is
finished”.

Vice chairman
of Committee’s Council – Huynh Chi Thang came to a conclusion on his working
visit and said: “Building and planning do not go together, so it usually causes
floods in many parts of Bien Hoa city in the rainy season. While we are waiting
for the drainage system to be built, the city needs to have rivers and streams
dredged regularly for better drainage when the rainy season comes”. Also, Vice
chairman of People’s Council reminded: “Building markets must go together with
building their waste water treatment zones. On-the-spot waste water treatment
system needs building in residential areas before they have a centralized system
of waste water treatment so that dumping waste water into the environment can be
avoided”.
