Recently, the weather has been sunny and people have been consuming a lot of water, so the number of people coming to get water at Cong Kep has increased. Because the main water source here has only 2 taps, flowing at a slow, stable speed all year round: each tap fills a 20-liter can in 7 minutes, so when a large number of people come, they have to wait a long time.

Although there are many people coming to get water, Cong Kep water mine always follows the regulations written on the board, opening from 4:30 am to 11 pm, providing water in an orderly and orderly manner.
According to locals, Cong Kep water is naturally sweet and cool, and most families here collect water and then store it for later drinking, rather than boiling it. Mr. Nguyen Van Truc in hamlet 1 of Khanh Son commune said that on normal days, his family drinks 5 cans of Cong Kep water in a week, but now with the strong sun, the water runs out in just 4 or 5 days. These days, people who go to get water have to leave early, otherwise, if they go at noon, they may not return until the afternoon, and sometimes they leave from 8am to 2pm to get water. |
