Drill around the garden to find

In the past few days, when the weather is hot, people in Lien Son hamlet (Kim Lien commune) have to hire a team of workers specializing in drilling wells to find underground water sources. There are lucky houses that find a water source after 1-2 stitches at 60-70m, but there are also houses that drill up to 5 drills nearly 100m deep and still have no water to use.

Characteristic topography of residence, about 300 households living in the Chung mountain range of 9 caves, is likened to a giant upside down bell.

Due to the impact of nature and humans, Ngang cave was bulldozed to build a school. Currently, there are only 5 caves, the highest cave is nearly 50m and the remaining 2 lowest caves are Khoai cave and Set cave.

Mr. Tran Ngoc Quy (SN 1942), residing in Lien Son hamlet, reflected that since Tet, the whole family has not had clean water (tap water – PV) to use, while the well dug tens of meters has collapsed. and dried up long ago. Therefore, the family rented a machine to drill twice with 5 drills around the garden, but there was still no water.

“Each drill is 50-80m deep but there is no groundwater. The next time the drilling machine reached more than 20m, the pipe broke and had to stop drilling. In total, the family spent 5 million VND in total, which was very expensive. While the tap water is installed with pipes and meters, the meter is full, but it is not available for use,” – Mr. Quy told about his difficult efforts to find water for daily life.

Also according to Mr. Quy, in Lien Son hamlet, there are many factories renting machines to drill deep wells to find water before the hot summer comes. Each family here usually uses about 20m3/month, now is in the situation of scooping each can and waiting for it to rain to get water.

“Every day, the children carry about 20 liters of water for their parents to use. When it rains, there is more water for living. I just hope that the water supply company will soon pump water for people to reduce their suffering,” Quy shared.

The command board of Lien Son village said that due to lack of water for many months, so far, 11 households have rented machines to drill for water. The cost of each drill bit with water is up to 12 to 13 million VND / 1 well.

“Many households lack water for daily life, and in rural areas, not all families can afford to rent a well drilling machine. This summer, if there is no tap water, people will struggle with prolonged heat,” said the leader of Lien Son village.

How long will it take to install a large water pipe?

Mr. Nguyen Sy Nguyen (residing in Lien Son hamlet, Kim Lien commune) said that the plumbing system was installed more than 2 years ago, however, for more than 3 months now, the family has no tap water for daily life. In the evening from 2am to 4am, tap water drips, only a bucket at most.

“For the past few months, the water has been dripping, the water meter cannot turn and the staff has not come to collect the fee. Although many times I suggested the staff collect the fee to open the water at night for people to use, but it did not work. I just hope the factory opens water at night so that people can store water to use every day to relieve their suffering,” – Mr. Nguyen begged.

Talking to PV VietNamNet, Mr. Nguyen Quang Loc – Chairman of the People’s Committee of Kim Lien commune (Nam Dan district) said that there are about 400 households in the whole commune that have not been installed or have no tap water to use. People are still drawing water from dug wells, collecting rainwater and drilling their own wells.

“The People’s Committee of the commune has written to the People’s Committee of the district and Nghe An Water Supply Company to add a large pipeline for people to connect to get water. The enterprise has also promised to add pipelines and branch lines to each household. The hamlets of Hong Son, Lien Son and Lien Hong are the places that lack clean water the most.

People drilling wells are also very hard and costly. We have urged the water company many times but to no avail. People drilling wells can cause groundwater loss. The use of this underground water source cannot guarantee safety. Therefore, it is urgent to use tap water that has been filtered and treated, “- Mr. Loc informed.

A representative of Nghe An Water Supply Joint Stock Company said that the unit is completing procedures and legal documents to install more booster pumping stations to supply water to people. It is expected that within a month people will have regular use of water.

“Assembling the booster pump is a temporary solution, in the long term it will be a large pipeline. However, the installation of the pipeline depends on the implementation of the project to build a road from National Highway 46 to Chung Mountain area at the same time, “- said a representative of a water supply officer.
