The domestic water project in Tien village, Thung Nai commune (Cao Phong) has been completed and put into use.

Along with the road project, Tien hamlet received the handover of the domestic water project. There is a water system in the hamlet, however, due to many years of use and the poor management and maintenance, the water supply to the households is unstable. There are times when many households have to beg for water or use unsafe water sources. The newly invested water project is the wish of the local people. The hamlet has elected 2 people to take the resposibility for the management and operation. Water is pumped from the well to the filter tank and then through the tank to be supplied to the households. The state has invested in the water meters and pipes to bring water to the households. The price of domestic water in the village is set at 4 thousand VND/m3. The collected money is used to pay for the operators and for the pump maintenance and repair work. Since coming into use, the water supply has been stable.

Ms. Bui Thi Hoa, a resident of Tien hamlet, says: My house is near the end of the hamlet. Since the State invested in the centralized domestic water project, the water flow has been stable. In a disadvantaged, sparsely populated neighborhood, we are very excited when the State has paid attention to investing in a pump system, filter tank and a path leading to our home.

At the project for the cultural house in Tien hamlet, the teams of workers are urgently pouring the foundation and roofing to complete the items. The project will soon be completed and handed over to the hamlet for use.

Ms. Bui Thi Luyen, the Chairwoman of Thung Nai Commune’s People's Committee, says: In 2 years (2022 - 2023), the investment capital of the National Target Program for the socio-economic development in the ethnic minority and mountainous areas funded by the district’s Department of Ethnic Minorities have invested in 8 projects in the commune, including traffic works, classroom buildings in Chieng hamlet, classroom buildings in Mu hamlet, roads, running water, and cultural house in Tien hamlet, renovating the cultural houses in Moi and Nai hamlets.
