Sound Global wins contract to build water supply plant construction Jilin, China

Chinese water treatment company Sound Global has won a contract for construction of a water supply plant in the north-eastern city of Jilin, China.

The plant will have a capacity to supply 200,000m³ water per day in the short term, which is expected to increase to 600,000m³ per day in future.

The Beijing-based firm is expected to construct the plant within two years, which is likely to involve an investment of more than RMB596m ($97m).

Within three years after its construction, the local government will buy the project from Sound Global in instalments.

It will pay 40% of the cost in the first year and 30% during the second and third years.

Sound Global indicated the project will address "the inadequacy of water supply and water pressure, water pollution and other problems in Jilin city."

According to Sound Global chairman Wen Yibo, the project will help the company to secure more municipal water supply projects in the north-eastern region.

Earlier this week, the company won a bundled project to operate and maintain 16 sewage treatment facilities in Chongqing city, China.
