However, about 70 households in the Shishui community still lack running water. The county magistrate Xu Shuhua decided to invest 3 million yuan to build a 2,500-meter-long simple water pipeline around the community, a 30-ton stainless steel water storage tower, a pressurized motor, and other facilities. After completion, it will be handed over to the local simple tap water management committee to take over the management and operation.

In addition, the county government will also spend more than 1.34 million yuan to improve the 350-meter-long concrete pavement of the 66 branch line in Dayan Village, and to add a 2-meter-high and 10-meter-long retaining wall.

In addition, in response to the poor drainage of the pits and ditches on the slope above the local Longfu Palace, and the fact that mountain torrents are prone to cause disasters after heavy rains, 1.68 million yuan was allocated to build a drainage ditch 70 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 2 meters high to improve.

Xu Shuhua, head of Nantou County, said that a ring-shaped simple tap water supply system will be installed in Shishui Community.
