During that time, the local Cau Do Water Factory will undergo an upgrade meant to increase its capacity, which requires a complete power cut-off.
“The planned blackout means the facility will have to stop water production, so it is expected that the water supply won’t be completely restored until 3:00 pm the same day,” Huong said.
“People should actively conserve water for use during the outage,” the general director advised.
The upgrade project aims to increase the capacity of the 170,000-cubic-meter Cau Do Water Factory by 60,000 cubic meter a day, with a price tag of VND200 billion (US$ 8.8 million).
It will be followed by the second phase, which will send the total capacity of the facility to 290,000 cubic meters a day.
Dawaco is also actively preparing for the construction of Hoa Trung water plant with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters a day by the end of this month.
