Accordingly, the DHV, a leading Dutch group in the field of construction in transport and water supply networks, and the Binh Duong Drainage and Water Supply and Environment Co. Ltd. signed a contract to build the Tan Hiep water supply system on January 19.

The water system will be built on a 7 ha- area in Tan Hiep commune, Tan Uyen district.

It is expected to gradually raise its daily capacity from 30,000 cu.m to 60,000 cu.m and provide water for industrial production and daily life in the 4,196 ha Binh Duong industrial-service-urban area.

The construction of the two-year project is expected to start in September 2007, with a total investment of US$14.78 million.

The Dutch government has provided a total of US$42 million for many projects across Vietnam.
