According to the People's Committee of Dong Nai province, as of December 2025, the rate of rural households in the province using hygienic water reached 100%; the rate of households using clean water meeting standards was 79%, using water from centralized water supply works reached 43%, from household water supply works and water filtration equipment reached 36%.

In the period of 2021-2025, Dong Nai province (old) has invested in the construction of 26 clean water supply projects in rural areas. Of these, 15 projects have been completed and put into use, 11 projects are completing procedures for project preparation. The total length of water supply pipelines connecting and expanding the water supply scope from centralized water supply projects is 1,048km. The total investment cost for water supply projects is more than 2,300 billion VND.

The rate of rural households in the old Binh Phuoc province using clean water reached 100%. In the period of 2021-2025, the old Binh Phuoc province did not invest in rural clean water infrastructure from the state budget. Water supply enterprises in the province have invested in about 320km of water supply pipes for more than 5,800 households.

Up to now, Dong Nai province (old) has 91 rural centralized water supply works, including 52 works in operation and 39 works inactive. Binh Phuoc province (old) has 48 works, including 32 works in operation and 16 works inactive.

According to the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee, most water supply enterprises are currently facing difficulties due to the lack of specific water supply zones, leading to difficulties in developing long-term investment plans for the units. Infrastructure planning is not yet synchronized, leading to slow implementation of some projects.

Some areas are stuck in planning so it is impossible to invest in water supply infrastructure to serve the people. The price of clean water after appraisal and approval is still high compared to the income of rural people...

In the 2026-2030 period, Dong Nai will continue to implement transitional projects from 2025; invest in 10 new projects, providing water for about 137,200 people.

Vice Chairwoman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Hoang affirmed that Dong Nai's goal by 2030 is to have 85% of rural households using clean water that meets standards, of which 68% use water from centralized water supply works, and 17% use water from household water supply works and water filtration equipment.

To achieve this goal, the People's Committee of Dong Nai province requested the Department of Construction and the Department of Agriculture and Environment to review all planned rural clean water supply projects to update the province's planning.

The Provincial People's Committee will have a separate directive document requesting wards and communes to review centralized water supply projects in the area to ensure they are suitable; and to divide investment zones. If there are already projects, it is necessary to avoid overlapping investments.

The Department of Agriculture and Environment is assigned to review reservoirs in the province. Any reservoir that reduces the need for agricultural irrigation water should be regulated through domestic water, increasing the efficiency of the reservoirs.

Regarding the province's clean water investment plan for the 2026-2030 period, the Department of Agriculture and Environment will coordinate with the Department of Construction to complete this plan based on practical comments from wards and communes.
