The underground pipeline of Longtan Sankeng pumping station burst and caused a water outage for up to 3 days. The second district management office of Taiwan Water Corporation announced yesterday (9) that 99% of households without a water supply had been restored. , many people still reported that there was no water available until the evening.
Taoyuan City Councilor Huang Jingping posted on Facebook that he and Mayor Zhang Shanzheng hurried to the Pingzhen Water Collecting Plant in the middle of the night to figure out the situation. the office has not been approved. I hope Zhang Shanzheng City Government can help in the future.
As for the major water outage, the water company admitted it was the most serious incident in six years; Huang Jingping questioned whether the water company planned to build a new relay pressurization station in Sankeng last year to supply sections of pressurized water to replace the existing 30.40-year-old broken pipe, the water company he obviously mentioned this to the Economic Development Bureau of Zheng Wencan Township many times, but why didn’t the former Economic Development Bureau?
In this regard, the water company replied that it initially bought a piece of agricultural land in Sankeng and paid half the price, but the land needed to be converted into water supply land through urban planning. Four coordination meetings to explain that it was stuck in the local feedback subsidy, fear of noise, bad eyesight and other reasons did not reach an agreement, coupled with the boycott of some councilors, so the city government did not agree to the construction before, I hope Zhang Shanzheng City Government can help in the future.
Huang Jingping said that he was very surprised to see Zhang Shanzheng driving here alone in the middle of the night last night. He drove a light car and was not accompanied by his entourage or his secretary. He wanted to take another look and grasp the current state of the water supply system. This scene is in stark contrast to the previous mayor.”
Huang Jingping also criticized Zheng Wencan’s procrastination over the past 8 years. His own advisers to him stood up to the local construction to oppose. After an accident, he did not help quickly find tap water. It’s really chilling to see him as a hindrance. “Don’t worry about the impact on people’s lives, why not!”

In this regard, the Taiwan Water Company clarified that the Taiwan Water Company’s Second District plans to set up a relay pressurization station in the Longtan Third Well to increase the stability of the local water supply. The pricing structure for the booster station will be completed in 2021. Three information sessions were held last year in 2022 with the assistance of the city government Until the election at the end of last year, the local councilors and the public in Longtan still had different opinions and objected, so Taiwan Water companies need to communicate on an ongoing basis. The Taishui Society pointed out that the water has no color, and the country’s Taishui does not have the color of the political party. I always thank Mayor Zheng Wencan for being the best partner of Taishui company during his administration. We look forward to the continued Taoshi government team to assist in building the livelihoods of Taishui’s prominent people.
Taishui pointed out that the purpose of setting up the relay pressurization station in the Longtan three wells is mainly to reduce the pressure of the raw water pipeline by step pressurization operation. After the completion of the land purchase in 2021, starting in 2022, in order to start reporting the land use change, I visited the local councilors and village heads many times, and assisted the Taishui company to hold local briefings with the city government. Therefore, we have yet to communicate again. Taishui is grateful to Mayor Zheng Wencan for his active assistance during his administration, and also looks forward to the continued assistance of the new municipal team.
Taishui company pointed out that the cooperation between the central and local government can benefit the local area, symbiosis and co-prosperity. In the past, Taishui company has communicated well with Mayor Zheng’s city government team. Many important water supply construction projects were completed with the assistance of the city government team during the administration of Mayor Zheng Wencan, including Dingshanjiao Booster Station (water supply from Banxin Water Plant to Banxin Water Plant water purification of Bade Dayan, completion of Beitao water supply adjustment center), Sanmin and other 3 pressure stations (water supply to Fuxing District), main water supply pipe of Taolin railway (increase of water supply to Taoyuan District and Luzhu District), main appro pipe Taozhu water supply (support water use in Hsinchu county and city), etc. These major livelihood projects in Taishui have greatly increased the water supply capacity of the Taoyuan area.
Taishui said that the crucial point at present is that residents have expressed many valuable opinions on issues such as feedback subsidies, noise and how to integrate the landscape into Sankeng Pressure Station, so that the company can incorporate it into the reference plan and correction, and will continue to communicate in the future, so that the relay pressurization station installed in the third pit can be successfully installed.
