Deal to provide vital water to Kinmen

The days of chronic water shortages in the Kinmen archipelago are numbered.

After two decades of negotiations, Fujian Provincial Water Supply Co signed a contract on Monday with Kinmen County Waterworks under which the supply company agreed to provide fresh water to Kinmen.

The project will begin in October, and the water supply test is expected to start by the end of next year, sources from the company said.
