Qian'an Zhonghua Coal Chemical Company has given money for the Ting village council to deliver water to the villagers after pollution contaminated the groundwater in the village. In January 2014, villager Han Xiiulan noticed that the water in his well began to taste sour and it made the food taste bad if it was used in cooking or to water the vegetables. By March, the well water had turned yellow. Later on, many of the villagers also found that their well water tasted sour or had become yellow. Nobody dared to use it. After petitioning the village, town, city and then Beijing, the Qian'an Zhonghua company agreed to provide the clean water.
