On April 20, Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company issued Official Letter No. 41/CN-BTP announcing the change of the water management unit for customers in Dinh Huong - Tay Bac Ga Industrial Park (Phase 2) to Tan Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company to become the unit directly signing the water supply service contract. Enterprises in the industrial park said that Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company unilaterally terminated the contract when they did not violate the terms, which was against the regulations and violated the signed contract. However, Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company affirmed that the change of water supply entity was for legitimate reasons.
Representative of Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company talked with Thanh Hoa Newspaper reporter.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Can, General Director of Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company affirmed: “Our company has been the water supplier for enterprises in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga (phase 2) for the past 10 years, the water source has always been stable. Between the Company and each enterprise, there is a separate water supply contract with strict terms, they also pay for water in full and do not violate any contract terms. The relationship between our water supply unit and customers here is also very good, there are no problems”.
However, according to Mr. Can, recently, the investor of this industrial park's infrastructure, Tan Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company, sent 2 documents requesting Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company to hand over the water supply infrastructure assets to them so that they can combine to deploy the fire prevention and fighting water system for the industrial park. In fact, the water lines and related water infrastructure were their previous investment, attached to the industrial park's infrastructure. Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company is only the third unit hired to supply water for more than 10 years.
Notice of change of water supply management unit of Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company with an enterprise using water in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga, phase 1.
“This is a force majeure for Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company. As for our viewpoint, our company still wishes and is ready to be the party signing the water supply contract directly with enterprises in the industrial park as before,” Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Can added.
Enterprises in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga (phase 2) were suddenly notified of a change in water supply entity and the installation of new water meters outside the surrounding wall.
If so, the announcement of the termination of the water supply contract with customer enterprises at Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga (phase 2) is also an undesirable thing for Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company. According to the representative of this water supply company, that is a legitimate reason. The current conflicts mainly lie in the new water supply contract proposed by Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company with some unreasonable terms, requiring enterprises to sign, which is currently creating a reaction from the business community here.
Although no longer a direct water supplier under contract with each enterprise in the Industrial Park, General Director of Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company Nguyen Ngoc Can still affirmed: We still fully supply water to the main meter system for Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company, and are ready to provide technical support or repair if requested.
A page in the Water Supply Contract of Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company signed and maintained stable water supply for a foreign-invested enterprise in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga (phase 2) for many years.
It is known that for many years, Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company has signed and maintained stable water supply for 95 enterprises in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Tay Bac Ga (phase 2). According to the Company's synthesis, each month, enterprises in this Industrial Park use an average of about 14,000m3 of water. Because of signing a contract to supply water to each customer, the Company has long been responsible for managing and repairing water line damage to each enterprise. If the plan of Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company becomes the unit that supplies water directly to enterprises, Thanh Hoa Water Supply Joint Stock Company will only be responsible for supplying water to the source for Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company.
New water meters were hastily installed by Phuc Hung Group Corporation without the consent of water purchasing enterprises.
According to Thanh Hoa Newspaper's investigation, in Dinh Huong Industrial Park - Northwest Ga in recent days, most businesses expressed their anger when Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company unilaterally announced a change in the water supply entity. The new water supply contract issued by this industrial park infrastructure investment and management company has a number of provisions that businesses say are intentionally "forcing" them to collect other fees in the industrial park. The contract also "inserts" threatening content, such as at point b, clause 1, article 5 on the rights of Party A (Phuc Hung Group Joint Stock Company - PV) stipulates: "Party A is allowed to request customers to sign a contract to collect infrastructure management fees, and must pay the industrial park infrastructure management fee. Party A will permanently stop water supply services to Party B if they do not fully comply with these regulations".
Thanh Hoa Newspaper will continue to convey further information of the incident.
