It is expected that the unit will be able to test water production by the end of April, and the water production will reach 15,000 tons per day in mid-May; the emergency desalination unit in Hsinchu is also making full preparations. When water production is required for rolling review, water production can be started in mid-April, and the daily water production target of 9,000 tons can be reached by the end of April.
