[Source: Tongchuan Public Security Bureau_Department News]

This year, the Rural Drinking Water Safety Monitoring Center in Yintai District, Tongchuan City, known as the “Water Hospital”, has 72 comprehensive “physical examinations” in the district Administrative village water supply projects and 127 small water sources ensure that more than 80,000 rural residents can drink safe water.

In June 2021, the Water Affairs Bureau of Yintai District, Tongchuan City implemented the reconstruction and expansion project of the rural drinking water safety monitoring center in the district. At the end of 2021, the monitoring center obtained the laboratory CMA qualification certification. Today, the first “water hospital” in the water conservancy industry in Tongchuan City that has obtained laboratory CMA qualification certification, can perform 45 “health checkups” for drinking water, and has legal effect in water sample quality evaluation and achievement appraisal. Notarized data.

Recently, the reporter visited the rural drinking water safety monitoring center in Yintai District. There are 12 standardized laboratories including pharmacy room, physical and chemical room, microbiology room, and chromatography room. In the microbiology room, inspector Sun Hongyan pointed to the test tube box and said: “The liquid in the test tube is purple, which means there are no E. coli colonies, and yellow means there are colonies. We reported the water quality problem to the industry department, and after rectification and treatment, re-inspection. ”

“There used to be a monitoring center, but the area was small and the facilities were poor. It could only detect 9 indicators, but not microorganisms. Now the monitoring center is equipped with 10 staff and has 45 detection items.” Mu Yabing, head of the monitoring center, introduced.

From difficult to drink water to drinking good water, the Yintai people in the arid plateau of Weibei have gone through a difficult journey of fighting against heaven and earth. In the early 1990s, the rainwater harvesting cellar project was built in Yintai District; during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, 146 single-village water supply projects were built, and the penetration rate of tap water in rural areas reached 100%. However, the “small workshop” single-village water supply mode has the problems of weak anti-risk ability and high operation and maintenance cost. As the main body of management, the village collective lacks funds and technologies, and can only guarantee regular water supply.

Yintai District has connected 146 single-village water supply projects into a “water network”, and built 7 regional centralized water supply stations; in order to achieve 24-hour stable water supply, a water conservancy construction and development company was established to undertake rural water supply The operation and maintenance of the project has realized the direct management of the whole process of water source, personnel, equipment, and pipe network from the “source” to the “faucet”, so as to ensure that the villagers can use safe, stable and affordable water.

“In the beginning, we went to the ditch to fetch water to eat, put the water into the tank, and the bottom was full of silt. Later, the tap water was passed to the home. Now, the water price is affordable, and if you encounter a problem, just a phone call away. There are administrators who come to repair the house. A few days ago, an inspector came to my house to collect water for testing, and everyone is more at ease!” said Hou Jinshan, a villager in Shaojiagou Village, Hongtu Town.

Mu Yabing added: “We test the water quality of all water supply projects in the region during the dry and wet seasons every year, and conduct random inspections on a daily basis, adding another protective door for the safety of rural water quality.”
