On 21/12/2015, with the support of Long An Province People’s Committee, Can Giuoc District People’s Committee and Party Committee, Long Phung Commune People’s Committee, Bang Tam Water and Environment Corporation held the groundbreaking ceremony for the pipe line of the project: “Investment in the fresh water supply system for the 5 lowland communes of Can Giuoc District, Long An Province” at Tay Phu Hamlet, Long Phung Commune, Can Giuoc District, Long An Province.

Currently, Can Giuoc District strongly attracts investment in development of industrial parks and services. Among major projects of Long An Province are Long An International Terminal, Can Giuoc District Commercial Center and Urban Quarter, and neighboring industrial parks projects. However in order to enable quick implementation of those projects, infrastructure works, such as traffic roads, power grid systems, etc. must be urgently carried out. In addition, water supply is also a matter of priority to facilitate development of economic and industrial sectors in the region. Consequently, the improvement of living conditions of employees, enhancement of community health, helping local residents settle their lives will further attract investment and stimulate development of new business activities, boosting the local economic growth.

Addressing the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Thiep – Member of Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of Can Giuoc District Party Committee said: “An available water source for long-term supply to local residents in the initial stage and supporting the industrial and urban development at the later stage is a desire of Party Committee, authorities and people of Can Giuoc District in specific and Long An Province in general”. The existing water supply system of Can Giuoc District is unable to satisfy the water demand of urban residents, this system can only meet the fresh water demand of the District to a limited extent, Therefore, it is necessary to invest in building the water supply system for 5 lowland communes including Long Phung, Dong Thanh, Phuoc Vinh Dong, Phuoc Vinh Tay, Tan Tap in order to adequately satisfy any water demand (in both volume and quality) of local residents, industrial parks at present and in future. Once completed, the project will bring many essential economic and social benefits to the local region, as a result the project has won much attention, assistance and instructions from authorities at all levels as well as enthusiastic support from local residents.

The Investor- Bang Tam Water and Environment Corporation will build the water supply plant at Long Phung, which in Phase 1 will satisfy a part of water demand of residents at Long Phung Commune, Dong Thanh Commune, Phuoc Vinh Dong Commune, Phuoc Vinh Tay Commune and Tan Tap Commune, and at the same time the water demand of terminal, industrial parks and service & residential quarters mentioned above. The estimated capacity in Phase 1 of the water plant is 2,400 m3/day night. Mr. Tran Ngoc Trac – Director of Bang Tam Water and Environment Corporation said that the full system was scheduled for completion and operation in 3/2016.
