Just in case! Emergency water supply system is added to 22 communities in our city

What should I do if sudden disasters and dangerous situations lead to the inability of water supply in the community? Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd. provided innovative services and gradually built emergency pipe network in the community to meet the water demand of citizens in emergency. Up to now, 22 communities vulnerable to natural disasters have been completed in Zhuhai.

On the afternoon of October 21, in the underground pump room of Hengjing Garden Community, Xiangzhou Haigang Road, a newly built blue water supply pipe attracted the attention of the reporter: after extending from the bypass of the secondary pressurizing equipment, the pipe wound up, and finally extended from the exterior wall of the ground parking lot, closed by blind plates; The interface facilities do not take up space or hinder, and can be used as an emergency water supply pipeline after being connected to an external water source.

This pipeline is part of the emergency water supply system of the community. It is sealed for standby at ordinary times, and connected to the emergency water source in an emergency to supply water to related buildings. "This is equivalent to setting up an additional 'lifeline' for the community." Ms. Song, the person in charge of the property management service center of the community, told the reporter that the community she served was close to the bay, and there was an experience of typhoon days when seawater poured back into the pump house, and the failure led to widespread water outages for residents. In order to effectively deal with similar disasters and dangers and reduce the failure of the pump house, Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd. recently built this emergency water supply system in the community. "In short, emergency water supply pipes are newly installed behind the pump house, and interfaces are installed outdoors to facilitate the connection of emergency water sources. If the pump house fails to supply water, the emergency plan can be started immediately to implement emergency water supply," said the staff of Xiangzhou Water Supply Office.

It is worth mentioning that emergency water sources are also very important. For this reason, Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd. has specially customized two emergency pressurized water supply vehicles with a storage capacity of 8 cubic meters each, which can ensure the water source dispatching of the community in case of emergencies. According to relevant technicians, the water supply truck can meet the water supply demand of different water supply areas of low, medium and high floors, and can pressurize water supply to the 30th floor at most, and can ensure normal water outflow. At present, we have arranged one car in the east and one in the west of our city.

How to start emergency response to ensure the safety of emergency water supply? It is understood that when receiving the situation that the emergency water supply system has been deployed in the community, the personnel of Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd. will immediately start the emergency response and drive to the community water supply connection point. Then, the site water quality and the cleaning condition of emergency pipes will be tested, and the water supply procedure will be started if the safety water supply conditions are met. At the same time, the on-site staff will take samples to learn about the residents' water use, and adjust the water supply scheme in time to ensure the stability of water use in emergencies. According to preliminary calculation, if the traffic is smooth, emergency water supply can be started about 30 minutes after receiving the report.

"Later, the water supply pump rooms in some residential areas suddenly broke down and stopped supplying water. Citizens no longer need to carry buckets and carry basins. Instead of going downstairs, they can continue to use water at home. This service is especially convenient for the elderly, the weak, women and children." Huang Baoxian, a pipe network technician in the customer service department of Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd., told reporters that so far, including Hengjing Garden, Binhai Building Vanke Jinyu Lanwan Community, among others, has completed the reconstruction of emergency water supply systems, added emergency water supply pipes and put them into use in 22 communities along Xiangzhou Lovers Road and other areas in our city vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoon, rainstorm and storm surge. Next, technicians will also carry out emergency water supply system transformation for residents' water supply facilities in Jinwan and other western regions in combination with the actual situation to meet the emergency needs of more people.

It is reported that the transformation of the above emergency water supply system will be carried out by Zhuhai Water Supply Co., Ltd. as a whole, without the expense of residents in the community. The specific areas suitable for reconstruction need to be determined in combination with the actual situation, such as the location of the existing pump room, the layout of the pipe network in the area, etc.

In addition, Huang Baoxian reminded the public that the emergency water supply system in the community is an important safeguard facility in an emergency. The connection port is usually located in the green belt of the community, outdoor parking lot and other relatively open areas. The interface and pipe location will have "emergency water supply" signs, and reflective warning stickers will be pasted for easy identification. Everyone should pay attention to protection in daily life to prevent man-made damage.
