"It's water-free!" After 5 pm on September 10, at the temporary resettlement site of Caiyangping Village, Moxi Town, Luding County, Hu Tao, a member of the Meishan Water Conservancy Water Supply Rescue Team, shouted, several village cadres hurriedly brought water buckets and basins to start collecting water for later use.

Affected by the "9.5" Luding earthquake, the rural water supply facilities in Moxi Town in the epicenter were damaged to varying degrees. At the Hailuogou Glacier Water Industry Water Plant located in Caiyangping Village, the earthquake caused the water supply pipeline of the water plant to break and the water plant equipment was damaged, and the water production and water supply capacity was lost.

"In the first few days after the earthquake, emergency bottled water can still be guaranteed to everyone's drinking, but the demand for water use in laundry, bathing, cooking and other places at the back will continue to increase. If new water sources cannot be opened in time, it will not be conducive to maintaining order in the resettlement site." A relevant person in charge of the Water Supply Department of the Sichuan Rural Water Conservancy Center said that in the early stage of the earthquake, it is urgent to ensure that the resettlement site can achieve emergency water supply as soon as possible.

On the evening of September 7, two water supply rescue teams organized by Meishan Water Conservancy Bureau and Suining Water Conservancy Bureau arrived in Moxi Town.

"Before, the water source of the water plant was on the mountain, and the pipeline was paved from several kilometers to more than ten kilometers. Due to road blockage and other reasons, the original water supply line cannot be opened in a short time. After our investigation and consultation, we decided to find temporary water sources for the villages that have lost their water supply." Hu Tao said that after these days of continuous struggle, the resettlement sites of Caiyangping Village and Qinggangping Village, which were responsible for the Meishan Water Conservancy Water Supply Rescue Team, have achieved emergency water supply.

Qinggangping Village branch secretary Lu Dongcai said, "Yesterday, the water at the resettlement site in our village was also open, and everyone's daily water use was guaranteed. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, so everyone can celebrate the holiday with peace of mind."
