At the beginning of May, the handover between our village's water plant and the town's water supply company will be completed“ On April 23, Huang Weiting, Party Secretary of jitigang village, Huangjiang Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, told the Southern Rural daily. In fact, after the Spring Festival in 2014, the water supply of jitigang water plant was stopped, and the water for residents of jitigang village and the industrial zone in the village was all supplied by the water supply company of Huangjiang Town.

The reason why jixigang water plant is co-ordinated by Huangjiang Town water company is that its water quality is worrying“ No way, the water quality inspection is always unqualified, and can only be handed over to the town water plant for overall planning“ Huang said.

At present, there are 57 village level water plants like jixigang water plant in Dongguan City. Due to the problems of water pollution, pipeline aging and unqualified water production process, these village water plants have been unqualified many times in the routine water quality inspection of Dongguan Water Bureau every month.

Source water is seriously polluted

According to the statistics of Dongguan municipal water quality bulletin from January 2012 to January 2014, the reporter of Southern Rural daily found that 58 village water plants failed to meet the standard in the routine inspection (9 indicators in total) over two years, of which 20 failed to meet the standards for more than 5 times. In the same test, the water quality of all the town level water plants in the city is up to the standard. In the detection of more than two years, jitiagang water plant only met the standards in October, December and January 2013.

It is said that more than 10 years ago, the water quality of jitiagang water plant was still good, and the main reason was that the water source was good at that time. Huangweiting said that there is no reservoir in jitiagang village. Water used in water plant has been natural water from Baoshan, including mountain spring water and rainwater. The village water plant stores the natural water in a reservoir, then purifies it and supplies it to the residents in the village“ Since the year before yesterday, we considered that the water supply was coordinated by the town water plant“ Huang Weiting said
