Strange well in Gia Lai still sprays water column 7m high for a whole month

(Dan Tri) - The second well in Gia Lai has been spewing out a column of gas and water nearly 7 meters high for a month now. Due to the strong pressure, the owner's family has not been able to plug the well with this strange phenomenon.

On January 8, according to Dan Tri reporter, after a month, the well of Mr. Bui Van Tu's family (born in 1988, residing in Ia Phin commune, Chu Prong district, Gia Lai province) was still gushing strongly, creating a column of gas and water nearly 7m high.

Mr. Tu's family bought iron mesh to fence around the well to prevent curious people and children from coming near.

"For the past month, the water pressure has decreased but not significantly so I have not been able to fill it back up. Previously, people and children often came near the well to observe and play. I was worried that the high pressure would be dangerous, so I bought an iron net to fence it off. Before Tet, my family will try dropping a concrete pillar down to see if it works," said Mr. Tu.

According to the representative of Ia Phin Commune People's Committee, the phenomenon of wells spewing gas and water is an undesirable event.

When the incident occurred, representatives of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment of Chu Prong district and the People's Committee of the commune went to the scene to inspect. Afterwards, the commune issued a notice requiring people to comply with regulations on the use of underground water, and when drilling wells, they must report to the authorities.

"Many people drilling near Mr. Tu's house also have no water. Commune officials regularly come down to check, and if the pressure drops, they will work with the family to fill the well to ensure people's safety and avoid curiosity," said a representative of the Ia Phin Commune People's Committee.

As Dan Tri reported, on the afternoon of December 8, 2024, Mr. Bui Van Tu's family was drilling a well at a coffee plantation in Hung Tien village, Ia Phin commune when a phenomenon of gas and water gushing up from the ground occurred. The water gushed out with great pressure, forming a column nearly 10 meters high.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, the family used concrete pillars to drop down. However, when dropped down, the concrete pillars were pushed back up to the ground by the water pressure.

Some people from other areas came to see the strange phenomenon in the well (Photo: Chi Anh).

Similarly, after the earthquake in Kon Tum province in July 2024, strange noises also appeared in the well of Mr. Dam Xuan Hoa's family in Ia Kly commune, Chu Prong district.

When Mr. Hoa's family drilled a well 180 meters deep to find a water source, suddenly there was a phenomenon of water and gas gushing strongly up from the ground, creating a column dozens of meters high.

After that, his family used concrete pillars to cover the well. For more than 2 months now, this well has not had any strange phenomenon anymore.
