(referred to as the water company) There is no water available on the third floor of the office building. While citizens were angry, they couldn't help but have a big question: Water use concerns thousands of households, why did they cut off water on a large scale twice within 3 days?
html After 12 noon on the 10th, many citizens reported to the reporter of Mammoth News and Oriental Daily that the water pressure at home has decreased. As time goes by, after 2 pm, the user who originally reported that the water pressure at home has completely cut off water.
Mammoth News·Oriental Daily reporter quickly contacted Zhengzhou Tap Water Investment Holding Co., Ltd. The company said that the reason for the urban water outage was that the Liuwan Water Plant, located in the southern part of Zhengzhou, was suspended again after the suspension of production on October 8. For specific circumstances, the water company will uniformly release accurate information to the media.
At 3:23 pm, Zhengzhou Water Company released information to the media, saying, "The Liuwan Water Plant has been suspended for the second time, and Zhengzhou will reduce the pressure and supply water, among which the southeast region is the most obvious."
The water company's notice showed that at 11:10 am on October 10, due to the interruption of the raw water supply of Liuwan Water Plant, the water level of the water plant's clear water pool dropped rapidly, and Zhengzhou City experienced a large-scale reduction in pressure water supply.
The person in charge of the dispatching center of the tap water company said that in order to maintain the minimum operation of the Liuwan Water Plant, it was forced to reduce the pressure and supply water, and the water supply range of the city was affected by the pressure reduction. The areas with the most obvious pressure reduction are the areas east of Huashan Road, north of the South Fourth Ring Road, west of the East Third Ring Road, and south of Jinshui Road. Water supply pressure will also decrease to varying degrees.
It is understood that the Liuwan Water Plant was completed and opened in December 2014, with water diversion from south to north as the water source. It is currently the main water plant in Zhengzhou City, mainly responsible for the water supply in the southeastern area of Zhengzhou City. The peak daily water supply reaches 420,000 tons. The daily water supply is also around 350,000 tons, accounting for 30% of the water supply in Zhengzhou.
After the Liuwan Water Plant is suspended, even if other water plants are dispatched to replenish water, Zhengzhou City will have a large area of reduced pressure water supply.
10 at 4 pm on the 10th, the reporter saw in the Zhengzhou Water Company office building located at the intersection of Zhongyuan Road, , that there was still water available below the third floor of the company, and the floor above the third floor had been cut off. A piece of white paper was posted on the bathroom on the fifth floor with the words "Due to water outage, the toilet stopped using it."
Zhengzhou Water Company Center Dispatch Office said that the company has launched an emergency plan and reported it to its superiors immediately to dispatch emergency water replenishment in other water plants in and other water plants.
The reason for the suspension of production of Liuwan Water Plant this time is "interrupted in raw water supply". So, why is the supply of raw water from South-to-North Water Diversion interrupted?
At 3:30 pm, a reporter from Mammoth News · Oriental Daily quickly contacted a person in charge of the No. 21 gate pump station of the South-to-North Water Diversion.
"This morning, the pump station circuit broke down and is now under emergency repair." The person in charge of the pump station confirmed that the supply of raw water was interrupted on October 8, and the power supply of the pump station was interrupted. This time there was electricity, but the line was in progress, but the line was not allowed to be used. A failure occurred. In other words, it is not that there is a problem with the power supply, but that there is a problem with the pump station's own circuit.
The reporter wanted to go to the No. 21 gate pump station of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project for on-site interview, but the person in charge refused the reporter's request. He explained, "The pump station is an important security unit, and outsiders must not enter, nor can they accept interviews from reporters."
As for when the emergency repair will be completed, the person in charge said, "An emergency repair is currently underway, and it is estimated that it will be very fast, but the specific time cannot be determined."
Previously, on October 8, because Zhengzhou Power Supply Company had to conduct a planned power outage on a line near the South-to-North Water Diversion No. 21 Pump Station, the South-to-North Water Diversion No. 21 Pump Station did not take targeted measures in advance, resulting in a power outage at the pump station. , the inability to transport raw water to the Liuwan Water Plant, resulting in the suspension of production of the Liuwan Water Plant. In the urban area of Zhengzhou, large-scale pressure-down water supply occurred, and users above the third floor were basically no water available.
No small matter in people's livelihood.Water supply involves the production and life of the entire city. In just three days, there were two major accidents in the South-to-North Water Diversion Pumping Station, which is responsible for supplying raw water to the Liuwan Water Plant, which has caused two major accidents to be unavailable for citizens and complaints. Many. Even the person in charge of the pump station sighed to the reporter, "Two things happened in three days, and they all got together, making it a big deal."
This not only highlights the serious inadequate daily management and construction of the gate pump station, but also exposes the serious lack of emergency management measures of relevant management departments of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
Regarding this incident, Mammoth News and Oriental Today will continue to pay attention to it.
