A clean water plant costing over 13 billion VND has been under construction for more than 4 years and is still not finished.
(Baonghean.vn) - The clean water plant project in Dien Minh commune, Dien Chau district (Nghe An province), which received an investment of over 13 billion VND, has been under construction for 4 years but is still unfinished, and some components have been damaged and deteriorated.
In 2015, the People's Committee of Dien Minh commune, Dien Chau district (Nghe An province) invested in the construction of a water treatment plant with a total investment of over 13 billion VND. Of this, 60% came from state funds and 40% from people's contributions.

According to the design, the plant was to supply clean water to 900 households (3,500 people); it was planned to be operational after 12 months. However, after nearly four years of construction, the water supply project is still unfinished, with some components left incomplete.
While visiting the Dien Minh Water Treatment Plant project site, we observed that many paving slabs along the reservoir were peeling and crumbling. The cement foundation near the water reservoir had numerous overlapping cracks extending all the way to the reservoir itself.
According to residents, the width and depth of the trenches dug for laying water pipes to the hamlets largely do not meet the original design specifications.

Regarding the situation, Mr. Hoang Trong Phuc, Chairman of the People's Committee of Dien Minh commune, Dien Chau district, said: The reason for the damage to the clean water plant is due to the storms in 2018 that caused damage and landslides to some components. As for the water pipeline, because it was designed before the construction of rural roads, some sections of the pipeline are not yet properly laid. The commune has requested the construction unit to quickly rectify the problem.

The project is progressing slowly, while some sections have already deteriorated. This is causing great concern among the residents, as they contributed 40% of the construction costs.
Currently, most people here have to rely on rainwater and well water.
