Duc noted that currently 1.3 million Hanoi people have access to tap water, consuming an average 1.1-1.2 million m3 per day and night. He predicted that the demand for water in summer will increase by 5-10%, the number of consumers will increase by 6%, but water supply for the city is secured.
Currently, all water plants in the city supply a total of 1.37 million m3 the whole day, Duc said.
He added that water supply interruption occurs due to malfunction and pipe maintenance will not leave the people without safe water because the Tay Mo pump station and a plant purifying Duong river surface have been put into operation.
