Kinhtedothi - Regarding wastewater treatment plant projects, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan emphasized that these are slow-to-implement projects, therefore, units that have committed to completing the projects in the first quarter of 2025 must actively implement them and not delay any further.
On the afternoon of December 11, the City People's Council questioned the second group of issues, regarding the implementation of a number of targets and tasks of the 5-year socio-economic development plan for the 2021-2025 period.
Solutions to complete wastewater treatment projects
Participating in the questioning of the Director of the Department of Construction, delegate Nguyen Minh Duc (Hoang Mai district group) said that by March 2024, the urban wastewater system had been treated at 30.9%. To complete the target of 50-55% of urban wastewater treated by 2025 according to the Resolution of the City People's Council, it depends on the completion of the Yen Xa wastewater treatment system project, which is currently behind schedule, and other wastewater treatment projects such as Kien Hung, Son Tay, Song Nhue, etc., which are currently preparing for investment.
The delegates requested the Department of Construction to clarify the feasibility of completing the 2025 target on the rate of treated wastewater and speeding up the implementation of wastewater treatment plant projects; at the same time, requested the Hanoi People's Committee to clarify the solution to complete the Yen Xa wastewater treatment plant project as well as revive the To Lich river, which is clear and has a flow according to the inspection conclusion of the Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee on the recent cleaning of the To Lich river.
Responding to this issue, Director of the Department of Construction Vo Nguyen Phong said that in order to complete the target of wastewater treatment rate, when building the work programs for the entire 17th term, the City Party Committee identified putting into operation the Yen Xa Wastewater Treatment Plant as a key project to complete this target.
Up to now, the Yen Xa Wastewater Collection and Treatment Plant Construction Project has completed Packages 1 and 2, while Packages 3 and 4 still have some problems with slow progress. The trial operation of this project on December 1, 2024 with a capacity of 100,000m3/day/night has increased the treated wastewater rate of the inner city area to 414,300m3/day/night, reaching approximately 40.8%. To ensure this target, it is necessary to focus on operating Package 2, completing Package 4 in some urban areas and Ha Dong. If these 2 packages are completed, the collection rate will increase to 194,500m3/day/night, thereby basically completing the set target.
Currently, the city is urging the completion of a number of other wastewater treatment projects such as Viet Hung 7,600m3, Cau Nga Wastewater Treatment Plant, Van Canh... Thus, with these projects put into operation, the city's wastewater rate will increase. With this target, we must try and urge investors to complete on schedule. This is the task of the departments and Project Management Boards to implement in the coming time.
According to the Director of the Department of Construction, regarding the implementation of the direction of General Secretary To Lam when working with Hanoi recently, it was stated that by 2030 the city must increase the wastewater treatment rate in the inner city to 100%. Thus, the city must urgently review a number of areas and approve investment policies, typically in areas F3 and F5 related to the Phu Do and Phu Thuong wastewater treatment plants. In addition, it is necessary to focus on investing and implementing 3 plants in Long Bien.
The first quarter of the Son Dong wastewater treatment plant project was completed.
At the question and answer session, delegate Nguyen Minh Tuan (Phu Xuyen district group) stated that the target of urban wastewater treatment is difficult to complete as planned, because some projects have not been completed, for example, the Viet Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant project (Long Bien district) has not been handed over for 8 years. The delegate asked the Director of the Department of Construction to inform about the causes, difficulties, and progress of completion?
Delegate Doan Viet Cuong said that the Son Dong wastewater plant project (Hoai Duc district) has been delayed for 11 years and has not been completed yet. He asked the Director of the Agricultural Project Management Board to give the reason. The Chief Inspector would like to give the results of the inspection?
Regarding this issue, Director of Hanoi Department of Construction Vo Nguyen Phong said that Viet Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant has a capacity of 7,600m3/day/night. Recently, the Department of Construction has urged the repair of this wastewater treatment plant to enable it to operate. Up to now, the Department of Construction has received it to put it into operation management.
"In the process of not yet selecting an official management and operation unit, the Department encountered some difficulties in receiving assets; unit prices to form the bidding package... These difficulties have been reported to the City and the City has resolved the unit prices for the items. The Department has completed the budget for the management and operation bidding for the period 2025-2027, the bidding for the operating unit will be conducted in January 2025" - Director of Hanoi Department of Construction Vo Nguyen Phong informed.
Regarding the Son Dong wastewater treatment plant project, the leader of the City's Technical Infrastructure and Agricultural Construction Investment Project Management Board said that the project implementation has been 99% completed in the context of many difficulties and obstacles, and some small items are still being completed. The plant was put into trial operation on April 10, 2024. The Management Board will urge contractors to focus on implementation, complete in 2024, and hand over the project in the first quarter of 2025 for official operation.
According to Chief Inspector of the City Tran Duc Hoat, regarding the Son Dong wastewater plant project, the inspection results in 2022 showed that the project was behind schedule for a long time, and the project also had 5 existing limitations and violations. The City People's Committee has directed the agencies to implement this inspection conclusion. Through the monitoring process, the contents pointed out have been implemented by the agencies, focusing on 3 contents, supplementing environmental monitoring, and problems with connecting the outflow... Currently, the project has been put into trial operation, but there are still some contents that the Department of Construction is selecting an operating unit that needs to be urgently implemented.
At the question and answer session, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Trong Dong requested that units carry out tasks according to schedule. The Agricultural Project Management Board handed over to specialized management agencies for public bidding, and units must also propose implementation plans.
Regarding wastewater treatment plant projects, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan emphasized that these are projects that have been delayed for many years. Therefore, the units that have committed to completing the projects in the first quarter of 2025 must actively implement them and not delay any further.
