Phú Quốc Restores Water Supply After Pipeline Rupture

Water service has been restored to nearly 3,000 households in Phú Quốc after a broken pipeline caused a shortage. The Phú Quốc Water Supply Branch announced the completion of repairs on July 16 in An Thoi's Ward 6.

Residents in the area had been without running water for over three days. The incident began on July 14 when a construction excavator accidentally ruptured the water main while clearing drainage during heavy rainfall. The rain caused flooding, complicating the initial discovery and assessment of the break.

Repair crews worked for over 24 hours to locate the exact point of the rupture, which was identified in a technical manhole connecting storm drains and the water supply line. Continuous rain and water accumulation at the site made the repair work extremely difficult. Divers were brought in on July 16 to assist the branch's personnel in the submerged, murky conditions of the 3-meter deep manhole.
