The 72 billion VND water supply project is damaged for the 15th time.

On the afternoon of March 22, the leader of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak province said that the irrigation project in Tien Cuong village (Quang Tien commune, Cu M'gar district, Dak Lak province) continued to have damaged pipes during the trial operation.

"We have dug and replaced new pipes into the pipeline to continue testing the project," he informed.

According to SGGP reporters, on March 20, while working in the fields, people discovered a large amount of water rising from underground, where the project’s pipeline passed through. Immediately after receiving this information, authorities mobilized people and machinery to fix the problem.

It is known that this is the 15th failure since the project was put into trial operation.

As reported by SGGP, the Tien Cuong village water supply project with a total investment of more than 72 billion VND, invested by the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Dak Lak province, started construction in October 2019 and is expected to be put into operation by the end of 2020. The project aims to ensure irrigation for 350 hectares of crops in Tien Cuong village. However, when the project was put into trial operation, the water pipeline of this project continuously broke 15 times, so the project could not be handed over.
