The project was invested by the People's Committee of Huong Phong commune (at that time, Huong Phong commune belonged to Huong Tra town, now the commune has merged into Hue city). The unit implementing the above project is An Nhien Urban Environment and Construction Company Limited (located in Huong Van ward, Huong Tra town, Thua Thien Hue province).

The purpose of the project to build the 15th electric pumping station is to improve the agricultural life of the people; increase production efficiency, develop the local socio-economy, improve the quality of life of rural residents, contributing to gradually achieving new rural standards.

Up to now, after more than 4 years, this 1.5 billion VND pumping station project has not been able to distribute any water to serve the people's seasonal cultivation process.

More importantly, while the project has not been put into operation and has not been accepted, the investor, the People's Committee of Huong Phong Commune, has paid all costs to the construction unit. This has caused confusion and frustration among local people for many years.

Mr. Phan Huu Vinh - Vice Chairman of Huong Phong Commune People's Committee admitted that the payment to the contractor for the project has not been made yet, which is completely against the regulations. "The obstacle that prevents the project from being put into operation is because the electrical documents are incomplete, the electrical design unit does not have the documents, leading to the project not being energized for operation" - Mr. Vinh said.
