The WWM project and the Ministry of Construction (MoC) have recently agreed on “Key Statements on Decentralized Waste Water Treatment”, in order to promote this holistic approach among relevant institutions and stakeholders in the sanitation sector. It was developed to serve as a basis for further development of small-scale and decentralized waste water treatment and management in Vietnam.
Template for a Local Regulation on Drainage, Sewerage and Wastewater Treatment
One of the missions of WWM project is the capacity building that focuses on the re-organization of the wastewater operators and the creation of favorable institutional framework conditions at local government level for fostering effective and efficient wastewater management.
Hence, the WWM project is assigned to develop institutional guidelines and legal documents.
This template for a local regulation on wastewater management serves the urgent need to assist local governments and wastewater operators in the implementation of national laws and regulations, such as Decree 88/2007/ND-CP and Circular 09/2009/TT-BXD.
It has been designed to give a clear and detailed guidance on all aspects of local wastewater management, and to clarify the relations between the owner of the sewage / drainage system, it’s operator and the urban population. It will later be supplemented by related documents, such as Management Contracts, Service Conracts and Service Standards.
The WWM team sincerely hopes to provide hereby a useful tool for a modern wastewater management in Vietnam.
