For many years, the residents of Xuan Quang 1 commune have lived in severe water scarcity during each dry season. Now, they are overjoyed as Binh Minh Plastics Joint Stock Company, in collaboration with local authorities, volunteer youth, and various forces, has brought clean water flowing naturally from the source directly to their homes.

Bringing clean water to arid lands

Every year during the dry season, the lives of people in Xuan Quang 1 commune (Dong Xuan district, Phu Yen province) face many difficulties due to a lack of domestic water. Daily, residents must traverse long and rugged paths to find water. Local water supply infrastructure is nearly nonexistent, forcing people to rely on rainwater available only about three months per year. During the remaining months, they face severe drought, causing anxiety and concern in their daily lives. Now, with the completion of the self-flowing water 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 Phuong Hoang Distributor; Mr. Nguyen Van Thoi, Standing Deputy Secretary of the District Party Committee, Chairman of Dong Xuan District People's Council; Mr. Dang Van Trong, Deputy Secretary, Chairman of Dong Xuan District People's Committee; Mr. Vo Duy Kha, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Youth Union; along with representatives from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education and local leaders, as well as a large number of Xuan Quang residents.

The project was implemented in two challenging but highly meaningful phases. Phase one, started on July 22, successfully installed the self-flowing 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 brought positive and sustainable changes to the entire Xuan Quang 1 commune.

With a total length of over 8,000 meters of Binh Minh pipes and fittings, and a total investment of about 1 billion VND, the project has transformed the local infrastructure. Binh Minh Plastics contributed over 600 million VND, while the locality mobilized social resources to support 400 million VND.

The program was carried out over 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 employees contributing one workday, along with local residents, to install the pipeline.

The project's success is the result of important contributions from multiple stakeholders: local authorities, the Provincial Youth Union and Phu Yen Military Command, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and Binh Minh Plastics, creating a collective strength that exceeded expectations. The smooth coordination among these parties accelerated progress and ensured project quality, turning the dreams of Xuan Quang 1 residents into reality.

The overwhelming joy of Xuan Quang 1 residents is the most meaningful achievement of the project. Mr. Nguyen So, a resident of Suoi Coi 1 village, seeing the water flowing to his home, expressed: "We are very happy. It is so precious because water is like the blood in our bodies, indispensable. We are so grateful. Thanks to the care of the authorities, Binh Minh Plastics, and the volunteer youth, we no longer worry about drought. Here, groundwater is very scarce, so during the dry season, we face extreme difficulties with water. We have to fetch it from very far, or scoop from rivers and streams to use. It was extremely hard. Now that water has arrived, everyone is delighted."

Efforts to share with the community

These meaningful activities are part of the "Cherishing Water, Loving the Future" program by Binh Minh Plastics, implemented since 2023, providing clean water to thousands of households. By mid-2024, Binh Minh Plastics had supported over 1,357 families with a total of more than 27,000 meters of PVC-U pipes and 9,700 meters of HDPE pipes. These figures are not merely achievements but symbolize Binh Minh Plastics’ dedication and continuous effort to improve community living standards.
