According to information from the leader of Lao Cai Province Water Supply Joint Stock Company, the repair and troubleshooting work caused by the flood at Bao Yen Water Supply Plant is being accelerated.

For Lao Cai city, after overcoming the problem caused by floods, the supply of clean water for daily life has returned. However, due to the sudden increase in water demand, households at the beginning of the route and at advantageous points are using more than 300% of their normal water demand, while the clean water output at the factory is only 60% - 70% of its capacity, leading to customers far from the main route, at the end of the route, and at disadvantageous areas not having clean water for daily use.

On the other hand, the steel pipeline (level 1) D400 running underground through Ngoi Dum stream, Kim Tan has broken, so we have to focus on human resources and materials to fix it. Therefore, the expected time for water supply to gradually stabilize again for Lao Cai city area is from September 15, 2024.

For Simacai district, the factory's flood water is receding very slowly so the company cannot access it to handle and fix it.
