Ensuring enough clean water at Sa Pa Tourist Area

Pao's Sa Pa Hotel proactively reserves water and has a backup plan to store water during the upcoming April 30 - May 1 holidays.

According to statistics, in the central area of Sa Pa urban area, the average water demand is about 6,000 m3/day and night, peaking at 8,000 m3. To prepare for the peak holiday season, all restaurants, hotels and accommodation facilities in the area have proactively stored water sources. For example, at Pao's Sa Pa Hotel, on peak days, the hotel used about 130 m3 of water/day and night. The unit has proactively stored tanks and has a backup plan to store water. Mr. Nguyen Manh Dat, a technical staff member of Pao's Sa Pa Hotel, shared: "The 500 m3 water tank is guaranteed, in addition, we regularly replenish water sources after each day of use to avoid possible incidents."

From November 2022, BOO Clean Water Plant with a phase 1 capacity of 7,500 m3/day and night will come into operation, contributing to overcoming the water shortage in the dry season in Sa Pa. As for Sa Pa Water Supply Branch, if operating at full capacity, it will supply about 3,000 m3/day and night. Entering the dry season this year, the two units have proactively developed plans to meet customers' water needs. Ms. Nguyen Lan Huong, BOO Sa Pa Clean Water Plant shared: "Workers are on duty 24/7, we ensure to provide enough water for Sa Pa Water Supply Branch, to provide enough water for people and tourists. Water quality is guaranteed according to the standards of the Ministry of Health".

Mr. Nguyen Van Ngoc, Deputy Director of Sa Pa Water Supply Branch shared: "The branch has organized a review and handled the water supply network to customers in the best way to ensure water source".

The April 30 - May 1 holiday this year lasts 5 days. It is forecasted that the number of visitors to Sa Pa will reach about 200,000. To meet the domestic water needs of residents and tourists, the town has promptly directed 2 clean water suppliers in the area to develop a water supply plan; proactively check and immediately fix any problems, if any, to ensure a stable water supply network.

Mr. Pham Tien Dung, Vice Chairman of Sa Pa Town People's Committee said: "After inspecting the two factories, up to now, the volume, reserves and output of clean water are guaranteed to be sufficient for the April 30 - May 1 holiday this year. In addition, favorable weather conditions mean that the water source is very secure."

Local authorities and specialized agencies in the town are also stepping up propaganda and mobilizing restaurants, hotels, accommodation establishments and people to use water economically and reasonably so that the Sa Pa national tourist area does not run out of water during the peak season./.
