The largest drought in Taiwan in the past 56 years, Jiashi relieved water shortage and recycled water for free access to the public.

The water situation is tight, and Taiwan is facing the worst drought in 56 years. In order to make full use of recycled water, the "Chiayi Water Resources Recycling Center" will provide about 200 tons of recycled water per day. Chiayi Environmental Protection Bureau and Construction Department will respectively provide water for road sprinkling, dust suppression and road planting and irrigation. in addition, in order to be friendly to the public, the amount of water available daily and related information will also be posted on the website for public inquiry. People are welcome to call to inquire and make more use of it.

The phenomenon of nearly zero typhoon this year has prompted the water situation to sound a severe warning, launching a major battle to rescue water shortage and fight drought. The Ministry of the Interior coordinates the counties and cities-the disinfected recycled water from each water center is made available to the public free of charge, and the treated recycled water can be used as "secondary water for domestic use" without human contact, such as road cleaning, watering flowers, car washing and so on. According to the statistics of "Chiayi City Water Resources Recycling Center", the total amount of water recovered in September 109 is 3543 tons, which can provide about 200 tons of recycled water per day. In addition to providing the recycled water to the Environmental Protection Bureau for street cleaning operations, the mirror moon water fall wall, landscape ecological pool, green irrigation system and building flushing system in the park are all environment-friendly through the reuse of recycled water to reduce the use of tap water. Chiayi City Water Resources Recycling Center said that at present, it has also planned instructions for the use of recycled water and relevant publicity measures to provide people with applications according to demand (recycled water can be provided daily, whichever is the same day). If there is a need for access, members of the public are advised to call and make an appointment first and bring their own containers to fill the water.

The Chiayi Municipal Public works Office pointed out that in addition to maintaining good water-saving habits, people can also make good use of recycled water at home, such as installing energy-saving showers and taking showers, collecting clear water such as washing vegetables or washing clothes for watering flowers, washing cars, and choosing sanitary facilities certified with water-saving labels, calling on people to spend the drought period together!
