For many years, residents of Xuan Quang 1 commune have faced severe water shortages during each dry season. Now, they are overjoyed as Binh Minh Plastic Joint Stock Company, in collaboration with local authorities, volunteer youth, and various organizations, has brought clean water flowing directly from the source to their homes.
Bringing Clean Water to Arid Areas
Every year during the dry season, the lives of residents in Xuan Quang 1 commune (Dong Xuan District, Phu Yen Province) are greatly affected due to a lack of water for daily use. People have to travel long and rough paths to find water. Local water supply infrastructure is almost nonexistent, forcing residents to rely on rainwater available only about three months a year. During the remaining months, they face severe drought, causing worry and uncertainty in daily life. Now, with the completion of the gravity-fed water supply system, residents of Xuan Quang 1 can live with greater peace of mind.

The ceremony was attended by Mr. Asada Boonsrirat, Deputy General Director and representative of Phoenix Distributor; Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee and Chairman of Dong Xuan District People’s Council; Mr. Dang Van Trong, Deputy Secretary and Chairman of Dong Xuan District People’s Committee; Mr. Vo Duy Kha, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union; representatives from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and local leaders along with a large number of residents of Xuan Quang 1.

The project was implemented in two challenging but highly meaningful phases. Phase one, starting on July 22, successfully installed the gravity-fed water system from Vuc Tron to Ky Lo and Suoi Coi 1 villages, opening a new chapter in the lives of local residents. Phase two, on September 7, extended the system to Suoi Coi 2 village, marking a project that brings positive and sustainable change to the entire Xuan Quang 1 commune.
With over 8,000 meters of Binh Minh Plastic pipes and fittings and a total investment of about 1 billion VND, the project has transformed local infrastructure. Binh Minh Plastic contributed over 600 million VND, while local authorities mobilized 400 million VND in social support.
The program was completed in two months with enthusiastic participation from the Phu Yen Provincial Military Command, more than 200 volunteer students from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and Binh Minh Plastic workers contributing one workday each alongside local residents to install the water pipeline.

The seamless coordination accelerated progress and ensured project quality, turning the dream of Xuan Quang 1 residents into reality.

The indescribable joy of Xuan Quang 1 residents is the most meaningful achievement of the project. Mr. Nguyen So, a resident of Suoi Coi 1 village, watching the water flow to his home, expressed: "We are very happy and grateful because water is like the lifeblood within us, it’s indispensable. Thanks to the attention of authorities, Binh Minh Plastic, and the volunteer youth, we no longer worry about water shortages. Previously, groundwater here was scarce, and during the dry season, it was extremely difficult for us to get water. We had to fetch it from far away rivers and streams. Now that water has arrived, everyone is thrilled."
Efforts to Share with the Community
These meaningful activities are part of the "Cherish Water, Love the Future" program launched by Binh Minh Plastic in 2023, providing clean water to thousands of households. By mid-2024, Binh Minh Plastic had supported over 1,357 families with more than 27,000 meters of PVC-U pipes and 9,700 meters of HDPE pipes. These figures are not just achievements but symbols of the company’s dedication and continuous effort to improve community living standards.
