Hoi An city has built and put into operation the waste water treatment plant in Cam Thanh ward. This ODA project of over 94 billion VND was funded by the French Government and has a capacity of 6,750m3/day. However, the plant receives waste water mainly from Minh An, Cam Pho and Son Phong wards, and part of Tan An and Cam Chau; so it meets only 40% of the city's total waste water volume. In addition, the Government of Japan provided a non-refundable grant of 220 billion VND to construct another waste water treatment plant with a capacity of 2,000m3/day. It is expected that by the end of 2017, the plant will come into operation to receive an additional 20% of the city's waste water, particularly in the seriously polluted Bridge Pagoda area.
