Sawaco reported status of road collapse and measures to repair collapsed roads caused by water supply system constructions and broken water pipes to Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee on the same day.
According to the report, Sawaco will strengthen sewers and water pipes.
It will also ask its members to check all construction sites, aiming to ensure work quality of water supply projects.
Water supply system breakdown will be repaired by Sawaco as soon as possible.
According to the transport department, about 22 sinkholes appeared on city streets, causing many accidents, some of them with fatalities since July.
Collapsed roads have created sinkholes that the city media calls Death Holes. Death Holes are resulted from negligence and irresponsibility of constructors when they execute road works and water supply system.
The most affected streets include Hai Ba Trung, Le Van Sy, Pham Van Hai, Nguyen Kiem, Au Co, No Trang Long, Nguyen Van Dau and Xo Viet Nghe Tinh.
