Inter-regional raw water plant project begins in Dong Thap, Tay Ninh, and Vinh Long

DNP-Song Tien Raw Water Co., Ltd. has commenced construction on an inter-regional raw water plant project serving the provinces of Dong Thap, Tay Ninh, and Vinh Long. The project, which began on October 24, 2025, has an initial investment phase exceeding 1,820 billion VND.

Designed with a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters per day, the infrastructure includes main pumping stations and a pipeline system spanning approximately 115 kilometers. The project aims to secure freshwater sources from upstream areas to combat saltwater intrusion and El Nino effects in the Mekong Delta, providing water to retail plants and industrial zones.

As of mid-October, construction has reached approximately 20% completion, with 16 kilometers of pipelines already laid. The first phase focuses on a 70-kilometer pipeline segment intended to serve areas in Tien Giang and Long An. Following the completion of legal procedures in July 2026, the project will expand to include pumping stations and transmission lines from the Dong Tam station to Tay Ninh province. The first component is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027, with official operations beginning in the second quarter of 2027.
