IC card water meter is expected to enter the house

The Water Affairs Bureau enlisted the treatment of “being kind to the water resources” and the public suggested that IC card-type charging methods, “pay first, then use water,” be awarded the first prize to better manage the water resources that are still in short supply in Dalian, starting from April 17 this year. The Dalian Water Affairs Bureau consulted the people of the city for a “good policy”. In 4 months, it received 165 suggestions from all walks of life: How to strictly control the water in the sauna room and implement IC card charges. Yesterday, after being selected, the Water Affairs Bureau commended one of the most valuable proposals.

The IC card meter is more scientific and effective. According to the reporter's understanding, this “presentation proposal” was not only carried out within the Water Affairs Bureau system, but also representatives of some people’s congresses, members of the CPPCC, and retired cadres also participated.

Zhang Yongde, an ombudsman of the Dalian Municipal Government’s Office for Corrective Action, suggested in an investigation report “Using new technologies to reduce operating and management costs.” He said that the new technology proposed to change the traditional way of water fee collection depends solely on manpower meter reading. Not only is it not accurate enough, it also increases labor costs. The IC card charging methods currently used for power supply, gas supply, and public transportation are not only scientifically accurate, but also very mature in technology. They can be used as a reference for the first time. After the water is about to run out, they will be prompted to encourage the general public to use it. Pay for your own water consumption while saving water.

Zhang Yongde’s proposal was highly valued by the Water Affairs Bureau. Of the 165 suggestions, more than 70 were rated as the “123” prize. Zhang Yongde's proposal ranked first prize.

Water Affairs Secretary Lang Lianhe spoke highly of this activity. He said that these suggestions will be fully investigated. The key to solving the problems of drinking water safety in urban and rural areas and solving the most concerned and most desperate problems of the people is to solve them in a planned and timely manner according to the principles of emergency relief and ease of relief.

There is still water in the sauna center. The sauna bath industry is also concerned because of the large amount of water used and the risk of water theft. Li Zhi, Minister of Quality Assurance at Da Nai Pump Co., Ltd., said that after investigation, he found that the situation of water pilferage in Jinzhou sauna was rather serious. Some sauna centers claimed to have drilled underground, and they actually used tap water. Water consumption of nearby residents was greatly affected. . There are also individual sauna centres that have arrears in water charges. The amount is alarming.

Li Zhi thinks that technical control should be exercised for the use of sauna water, and a single form tube should be implemented for the sauna business household. After reform, the sauna center and the water pipe used by the public should be stripped. The water meter should be located in the outside well so that it can be used. Effectively control the phenomenon of theft of water, and at the same time, it should cooperate with the industrial and commercial department. The water for the newly opened sauna center should be approved by the water department.
