In the morning of June 10, 2009 at Binh Tri Hamlet, My Quang Commune, Phu My District, the Inauguration Ceremony of the Phu My water treatment plant construction project was held with the presence of Mr Hubert Cooreman- Ambassador of Belgium in Vietnam; Mr Patrick De Bouck- Counsellor of Development Cooperation division (Embassy of Belgium in Vietnam); Mr Dirk Deprez - Resident Representative of Belgian Technical Co-operation in Hanoi (BTC), Mr Le Van Tam – Member of the provincial People’s Committee, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment; leaders of Phu My District; related agencies in the province and individuals involved in the implementation of the project.

Phu My town where water resources are heavily polluted with both alum and iron, there has not been any clean water project here for a long time. Therefore, the inhabitants of the town must still use the contaminated water resources. For this reason, in 2005, the Kingdom of Belgian has financed Binh Dinh Province with project "Improvement of living standards in the town of Phu My  through access to clean water - VIE 04 023 11” which is part of the bilateral cooperation between the Government of Vietnam and the Kingdom of Belgium.

The project worth Euro 1.2 million, with the capacity of 1,200 m3/ day aims to provide running water to over 13,000 inhabitants and health clinics, schools, public projects in Phu My District. In addition, the project helps to train the administrative  and technical staff and increase the population’s awareness of how to use the pipe correctly and the need of environmental sanitation.
