Taichung City ’s lively street near Dafengjia Business District, due to severe leaks and even burst pipes in the old water pipeline, legislator Zhang Liao Wanjian actively promoted the elimination of old water pipes. A briefing meeting on the replacement of pipelines in the second section of the road "was finalized in the meeting to replace the old plastic pipelines with graphite cast iron, a total of 7050 meters, with a total project cost of about 73.51 million, to ensure the stable growth of water consumption in the future. The Dafengjia business district in Xitun District is adjacent to the Taichung City Government, the National Opera House, the MRT station, Fengjia and the East China Sea business district. The plastic tap water pipes with a diameter of 80 ~ 250mm in the nearby streets are mostly in the Republic of China 70 ~ 80. Buried during the year, the old pipelines began to have serious water leaks or even pipe bursts, which in turn caused hollowing of the ground and subsidence of the pavement stratum, which may cause danger to passers-by! After receiving feedback from the public, Zhang Liao Wanjian actively strived for improvement. At present, the old water pipe projects of Fuxing Road, Wenhua Road, and Fushang Lane have been completed, but from Henan Road Second Section (Taiwan Avenue Third Section to Xitun Road Second Section) And the second section of Xitun Road (the second section of Henan Road to the intersection of Hongxiao Road), covering all or part of Shangli and Shangjia, Fengjiali, Shangli, there are still 5,000 households using water pipes that have not been replaced. To this end, Zhang Liao Wanjian invited the Management Office of the Fourth District of the Water Collection Company, City Councillor Lin Qiyu and a number of directors to hold a "Description of Pipelines on the Second Section of Henan Road and Second Section of Xitun Road" in Shangshi Park, Upper Delhi Chang Hongyichang, Liao Nianxin from Changshili, and Liao Wanjing from Fengjiali attended the meeting. Xiao Shuzhen, director of the water company, said that the general replacement period of plastic pipelines is about 20 years, and most pipelines in Dafengjia area have exceeded the limit of use. Therefore, there are often tube bursts and insufficient water pressure, especially at the peak water usage time, which causes the public to use water. There are many inconveniences. I hope that the old pipelines can be replaced as soon as possible to ensure the residents' water and quality of life. The replacement project will replace the old plastic pipelines with graphite cast iron, a total of 7050 meters, with a total project cost of approximately 73.35 million has been designed and completed. It is expected to be sent to the Municipal Government Turnkey Center for construction early next year and completed before the end of October next year to ensure the need for the steady growth of water consumption in the future.
