Mainboard-listed China Everbright Water, which provides integrated environmental water services, has announced a new project.
It has won a project to treat municipal waste water from the Shudong new urban area, east of Shu River in Ju County. A facility will be constructed on a build-operate-transfer basis and has a designed daily waste-water treatment capacity of 20,000 cubic metres, with a concession period of 30 years.
The project's total investment is about 50 million yuan, and the water discharge will comply with the national Grade 1A standard.
The project is expected to be completed to begin operations next year.
Two waste-water treatment plants the firm worked on have been transferred to its project company, and started operating commercially in May.

Plastics maker Changtian Plastic & Chemical said poor weather in the past two months has affected construction works for a project known as the Nylon-6 Chip Development.
It expects works to be delayed to October, and the trial production and sales of Nylon-6 chips are expected to start only in the fourth quarter of the year.
If anything changes, the firm said it will make an announcement, and also told shareholders and investors to exercise caution when dealing in the firm's securities.
