The "Emerald Water Pipe" project in Taipei was tunneled today. It is expected to be completed in the Republic of China in 112. The mayor, Ke Wenzhe, said that once the original water pipe was completed, 6 million people in the capital's life circle would have water protection. The risk of water outages is low. Typhoon Sudil struck in 104, and the sediment of Nanshi Creek, which supplies water to the Greater Taipei area, increased sharply, causing the turbidity of the raw water to soar and the water purification field to be difficult to load. The tap water in Taipei was yellow for 3 days, causing public complaints. Ke Wenzhe therefore proposed the construction of an original jade water pipe. Last year, he reached a consensus with the former executive dean Lai Qingde. After deducting 400 million yuan of self-remuneration, the remaining 1.6 billion yuan was divided by the central and local governments. The emerald water pipe is a tunnel through the mountains. The project started in July this year. Today, the tunnel is excavated into a hole with a diameter of 4.5 meters and a length of 2.8 kilometers. The water intake can reach 2.7 million tons per day. In the second phase of the water supply improvement project in Banxin, the maximum daily consumption in Banxin will be increased from 810,000 tons to 1.01 million tons, and the water use ratio in New Taipei City will also be increased from the current 47% to 57%. Ke Wenzhe said in his speech that the progress of the project will be ensured, and it will be dealt with if it encounters difficulties. After the completion of the emerald water pipe, there is no need to worry about the turbidity of the raw water soaring due to typhoons and heavy rainfall. Although it was the next mayor in 112 years, the project must have Sustainable operation concept, otherwise it cannot be done.
