crack the livelihood pain point of “inconvenient water use”
Due to the long service life, the corrosion of municipal water supply pipe network, water leakage, poor water quality and other problems are becoming increasingly prominent, which seriously affects the user’s water experience. Last year, Zhongshan’s “ten practical things for people’s livelihood” included the “transformation of old city water supply network” into the project of “improving drinking water safety”. Zhongshan Public Utilities Group Co.Ltd(000685) the water company is responsible for covering the service areas under the jurisdiction of central urban area, port, Shalang, Sanxiang, Shenwan, Banfu, Dongsheng, Guzhen, Dongfeng, Fusha and Nantou, so as to solve the problem of inconvenient water use due to old water pipes. According to the relevant person in charge of the public water company, the target of the series of projects for the reconstruction of the old city pipe network is that the reconstruction of the old city water supply pipe network is no less than 115 km, benefiting about 10000 households.
Dafeng primary school in Gangkou town and its surroundings are located in Qunle community, Gangkou Town, Zhongshan City. With the expansion of Dafeng primary school in port town and the continuous improvement of living standards of surrounding residents, users’ demand for water quality, water volume and water pressure is more urgent. Some pipes of the current water distribution pipeline in this area have been included in the scope of eliminated pipes. The service years have exceeded 20 years. Obvious corrosion and explosion leakage often occur, which has affected the daily water use of users. The public water company reconstructed the water distribution pipeline in this area, with a pipe network reconstruction length of about 2.6km, involving 84 residents and a primary school with 1700 teachers and students. By adopting peak shifting construction and other methods, the impact on residents can be reduced by using the early morning and other periods with small water demand.
At present, Zhongshan municipal water supply network reconstruction project has been put into use, benefiting 15071 users, and the length exceeds the overall target by 19%.
Xinyong Shangjie and xiajie, located in the West Street community of Gangkou Town, Zhongshan City, belong to the old urban areas. Due to the extensive use of galvanized pipes which have been listed as obsolete pipes in the early construction of water supply network, the current pipeline is seriously aged and rusted, and the problems of water yellow and water pressure are prominent, which seriously affect the water quality of users; Some water supply pipes are immersed in the river, so it is difficult to ensure the safety of the pipeline itself and the leakage is not easy to find. After a 2-month construction period, the public water company has carried out an overall transformation of the old water supply network in the upper and lower streets of Xinyong, transforming the old water supply network by about 5.3km, benefiting 257 users.
benefit users by 50%
According to Xu Jialiang, member of the Party committee of Zhongshan Public Utilities Group Co.Ltd(000685) water affairs and manager of some central companies, after the reconstruction of the old water supply pipe network carried out by Xinyong Shangjie and xiajie in port town and Dafeng primary school in port town, the transformation has effectively improved the water use conditions of residents and enabled residents to realize the transformation from “drinking water” to “drinking good water”. Taking port town as an example, after the completion of the project transformation, the production and sales difference decreased by 4.26% year-on-year, the water sales increased by 9.61% year-on-year, and the explosion and leakage maintenance rate decreased by 10% year-on-year, effectively improving the residents\’ water experience.

We have achieved the goal of “reassuring the government and satisfying the citizens”.
After the project transformation, the residents’ water use conditions have been effectively improved, especially the water quality and water pressure in towns and rural areas have been significantly improved.
