Chen Shun, who was in charge of the sedimentation tank work in the early years, said that at that time, it was necessary to measure the turbidity of the water from time to time, and then add an appropriate amount of alum to purify the water.

In the early days, when the Rende Erhang area was first connected to the water pipe, the people were not willing to take over due to the high cost of taking over. However, after comparing the water quality, the number of households taking over increased rapidly.

Wu Shunzhu, who served at the water intake, said that after the early typhoon, it was necessary to hire workers to dive to remove a large number of branches blocked at the water intake. Every time the diving was completed, the salary was 50 yuan, and the salary for one month at that time was more than 2,000 yuan.

Wu Zizhong, who has been in and out of waterways since he was a child, once repaired the brick wall between the power plant and the chimney. He said that the reward at that time was only 2 packets of chemical fertilizers, but those fertilizers could not be bought outside. In terms of value, they should be Priceless.

During the war, when encountering air raids, water workers had to climb up 5 or 6-story chimneys and put branches at the chimneys to disguise themselves as big trees to avoid bombing.

The museum pointed out that in conjunction with the special exhibition, a real-world puzzle-solving activity will be held on October 22 and 23. There will be 3 sessions per day, with 15 places per session. The public can participate for free if they buy tickets to enter the park, and they can register online: https: //reurl.cc/MNa4g3.
