Residents in Kaiyang county – in Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province – are set to benefit from the county's efforts to better treat its domestic sewage, handle black and smelly water and safeguard the safety of drinking water.

Under the county's plans, Kaiyang will finish domestic sewage treatment projects for nine villages under its jurisdiction, making sure the treatment rate exceeds 60 percent.
