While portable water supply to about 100 villages in the city of Hash is the responsibility of the water and sewage department in this city, residents of 18 villages face serious problems in the supply of drinking water. The supply of water to these villages, which was done in the past in cooperation with the Nomadic Division and the Water and Sewerage Department, has been affected since the beginning of autumn following the termination of the cooperation of the Nomadic Division. Due to this situation, some rural households have to spend up to four million tomans to buy each water tank from the open market. The director of water and sewerage of HSH also named the failure of two water supply vehicles of this department as one of the obstacles in supplying the water needed to the villages.
