People’s Daily Online, Xi ‘an, July 21 (Ren Zhihui) People take food as the sky, water as the priority, and water as the foundation. Rural drinking water safety is one of the bottom line tasks to win the battle against poverty, the number one project of water conservancy and poverty alleviation, and the most basic livelihood issue. In order to let the people in Shaanxi and the people in the water sources have a safe meal and drink safe water, as early as April 14th this year, Shaanxi Province held a water conservancy work conference. It is planned that Shaanxi will complete water conservancy investment of 36 billion yuan this year, an increase of more than 8.5% over the previous year, control soil erosion and ecological restoration area of 3,000 square kilometers, solve and improve the drinking water safety problem of 1.2 million rural people, and increase the installed capacity of small hydropower by 25,000 kilowatts.
Solve the problem of water and comprehensively solve the problem of safe drinking water in rural areas. In May, Shaanxi Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment issued a notice on "Key Points of Reform in the Field of Ecology and Environment in 2020", which mainly put forward nine key tasks from the aspects of strengthening the protection of drinking water sources, improving the compensation system for ecological environment damage, and deepening the comprehensive law enforcement reform of ecological environment. The second article clearly proposes to formulate guiding opinions on strengthening the environmental protection of centralized drinking water sources in Shaanxi Province, implement the water pollution prevention and control work plan in Shaanxi Province, and systematically promote the protection of drinking water sources. We will continue to standardize the construction of water sources and rectify environmental problems in drinking water source protection areas, promote the division of drinking water source protection areas with "thousands of tons and ten thousand people", and systematically promote the protection of drinking water sources. Before the end of October 2020, the guiding opinions on strengthening the environmental protection of drinking water sources in Shaanxi Province will be formulated.
Recently, with the hot weather, some places in Shaanxi have experienced difficulties in drinking water, using water and eating water. In Xianyang, some netizens have reflected the problems of drinking water, such as difficulty in drinking water, insufficient water supply and poor water quality, through the leadership message board of People’s Daily Online, which has become a hot spot of concern.
Question 1:Difficult draft, insufficient water supply
Villagers from Group 7, Tianchao Village, Jiangcun Town, Ganxian County said that the draft problem has always been the most difficult problem faced by some villagers in this village. Although there is a tap water pipe, there has been no water. If you want to drink water and cook, you have to go far away, carry water with a pole, or pull water with a cart, and put water once every two days. Sometimes there is no water if you miss the time, and the distance of pulling water is far away. If you pull a bucket of water home, there will be half a bucket left. If it rains or snows in winter.
In response to this problem, the inspection office of Ganxian County Committee replied that there are two main reasons for the abnormal water supply: First, the water seepage and water leakage of the seven groups of water supply networks in Tianchao Village are serious and cannot be investigated and maintained in time; Second, the water supply of the eight groups of pipe networks in Tianchao Village is not smooth. Due to the untimely maintenance after water leakage and the lack of attention to construction details during maintenance, debris such as sand and gravel enter the pipe network, blocking the water supply pipe network and preventing normal water supply.After coordination and agreement by all parties, the water supply time will be extended, and the water leakage points and blockage points in the seventh and eighth groups of the village will be investigated and repaired in time; The County Water Conservancy Bureau arranged a special person to conduct on-the-spot investigation on all the pipe networks in the village, and drew the construction drawings of the pipe networks. In the document No.11 of Gan Zheng Ban Han (2020), the reconstruction of the pipe networks in the village was initiated, and efforts were made to complete the construction transformation of all the tap water pipe networks in the village as soon as possible and provide normal water supply.
Coincidentally, there is also the same problem of draft difficulty in Yongshou County, Xianyang. A netizen commented that there was a long-standing problem that tap water could not be supplied in the village. Although there was a well and a tap water pipe, it failed to meet the drinking water standard. The villagers had to use a pole to fetch water from a nearby mountain spring to solve the domestic water. Some of these water carriers are even old people who are over 70 years old, and they are still worried about the daily water consumption.
After receiving the message from netizens, Yongshou County Committee attached great importance to it and immediately instructed the county water conservancy bureau to investigate the problems reflected.Upon investigation, due to the serious water leakage in the village pipe network found during the annual water quality inspection and water supply project survey in September 2019, water quality inspection was unqualified. County Water Conservancy Bureau organized and implemented the pipe network reconstruction and water quality treatment projects in time. At present, the pipe network reconstruction project in the village has been completed.
In addition, a netizen from Beibaozi Village, tuqiao town, Xunyi County said that the village only has tap water in the new countryside, and the two streets where the netizen lives don’t have tap water. Every day, he only carries it back from his neighbor’s house in buckets, so he can save some water if he drinks water, and the water for washing clothes is dirty. To solve this problem,Tuqiao town has connected the tap water for this netizen’s home.
A netizen in Bin County commented that the draft of Xiaokangjiayuan Community in Yimen Town was difficult, and the property said that the water was thin and could not be supplied, hoping to solve the draft problem.
After receiving the question, Yimen Town investigated and handled it.The rectification measures are as follows:Yimen Town will further strengthen the supervision of the property of Xiaokangyuan Community, requiring it to supply water strictly according to the water supply time on the one hand, and inform all residents of the water supply time to remind them that they can store water for standby at ordinary times; On the other hand, it is necessary to explain the reasons for water supply in different periods.The property office of Xiaokangyuan Community attached great importance to it, posted it in time to clarify the water supply time, and provided a description of the water supply situation.
Question 2: Tap water is low.
"It’s been almost two years since home decoration, and the water pressure has been very small. The measured water pressure value is 0.16. As a result, there is no way to take a bath, and the washing machine cannot be used normally, which seriously affects our normal life. " This is the problem reflected by the owner on the 17th floor, Unit 2, Building 7, Chaoyang Xingcheng, Changwu County, Xianyang on June 25th to the secretary of Changwu County Party Committee through the People’s Network Leadership Message Board. In this regard, the housing management station of Changwu County Housing and Construction Bureau went deep into the property office of Chaoyang Xingcheng Community on July 6, 2020 to test the indoor water pressure, and the hydraulic engineer of the property office of the community debugged the secondary water pressure. After two days of observation at around 9: 00 every night, the water pressure has been improved and the supply is normal (the wall-hung boiler can be used normally). On July 6, the netizen replied: "The leaders of the Housing and Construction Bureau personally went to the house to solve the problem! Thank you! "
Question 3: The water is unpalatable and the quality of drinking water is poor.
Poor drinking water quality is also a kind of problem reflected by netizens. A netizen in Sanyuan County commented that the tap water in Gaoli Village of Sanyuan County was yellow and turbid at 10 pm on June 27th without receiving any notice from the water company.
In view of the problems reflected, Sanyuan County Water Conservancy Bureau found that the causes of turbidity are as follows: First, there are uncleaned sediments in the low-lying areas of the pipeline, and when the pipeline velocity increases during the peak hours of water use, the sediments will be brought up with the water flow to produce a short-term local water turbidity problem at the end of the pipe network; Second, with the recent increase in water consumption, water supply companies have started to use supplementary water source wells one after another, and the high turbidity at the initial start of supplementary water source wells has a certain impact on water quality; Third, the pipe network in some parts of the city burst, and the water quality was turbid in some parts during the process of re-supplying water after emergency repair. The sudden turbidity of water quality in Gaoli Village on the evening of June 27th was related to the residual uncleaned sediments in the pipeline.
In view of the existing problems, the county water conservancy bureau has taken the following measures: First, organize pipeline flushing. On the basis of flushing the reservoir in early June, on the evening of June 28th, the water supply company issued a notice of flushing the pipe network to users in the working group, and flushed the main pipeline from 22: 00 to 24: 00 that night. The second is to optimize water source dispatching. Increase the proportion of groundwater supply. On July 2, the water supply company continued to increase supplementary water wells to further reduce the surface water supply to prevent the influence of unstable surface water quality on the purification effect. On July 3, all groundwater was used. The third is to organize six working groups, such as water plant, water source well, reservoir, urban section of water transmission and distribution network, town and village section and water quality testing group, to continue to strengthen investigation and monitoring and eliminate all kinds of hidden dangers affecting water turbidity. By taking the above measures, the problem of water turbidity has been effectively solved.
Question 4: Long water cut-off time.
Villagers in Fujiazhuang Village, Shide Town, Liquan County said that the tap water supply in the village often has no water pressure. Recently, there was no water for five or six days. During the busy farming season, there was no water at home on a hot day. In the past, there were some users who could take some water from their own wells. Since there was tap water, almost all those wells were abandoned, so there was no water for several days, leaving villagers with nowhere to take water.
In view of this problem, Shide Town immediately arranged for the cadres of Baocun Town to visit the village. After investigation, due to the rupture of the water pipe in Shide Town in two different places some time ago, all the natural villages covered by it were cut off. Fujiazhuang Village is located at the most downstream of the water pipe, so it is natural to wait until the water pipes in other upstream villages are connected. Now all households have resumed normal water supply.
Let the rest assured water "flow into" people’s homes. On July 7th, when Wang Shuanhu, director of Shaanxi Provincial Water Resources Department, went to Xianyang City to investigate and supervise the work of rural drinking water safety to get rid of poverty, he stressed that flood and drought disaster prevention should be the first good move, stick to the bottom line of people’s life safety and rural drinking water safety, focus on the line and point, ensure drinking water safety, and solve the contradiction between production and living water. It is necessary to hand over the current policy standards to grassroots cadres and the masses, strengthen the awareness of "water commodities" with the continuous reform of water charges and water prices, form an institutional mechanism, do good things and do practical things, and do the work of the masses in detail and in place. It is necessary to strengthen positive publicity and guidance, correctly handle the public opinion on rural drinking water safety issues, repeatedly do ideological work for the masses, make overall plans to promote epidemic prevention and control and current key water conservancy work, do a good job in welcoming the national poverty alleviation census, and provide rural drinking water safety guarantee for winning the battle against poverty and winning a well-off society in an all-round way.
