Pengpai News noticed that the water pumping and drainage work in Zhuozhou continued from August to September.
At the end of August, a netizen claiming to be the owner of Hongkun Ideal Erwan in the Health City of Zhuozhou Dock Town complained that it has been a month since the flood in Zhuozhou. Currently, the surrounding area of the community is littered with garbage, with accumulated water on Dangjing Street and Wanke abandoned buildings. Residents need to walk about 1 kilometer of temporary construction dirt roads through temporary fence doors to enter and exit the community. The surrounding area is severely flooded, with a foul odor and a harsh environment, and the residents suffer unbearable hardship.
On September 11th, the Baoding Municipal Government replied that after investigation, the park continuously drained the accumulated water on the roads around Ideal Erwan and arranged for dedicated personnel to be on duty 24 hours a day. As of September 6th, nearly 1.3 million cubic meters of accumulated water have been discharged from the roads in the area, and the remaining amount of water in surrounding projects is about 480000 cubic meters. Among them, the Health City Hotel still has 260000 cubic meters of accumulated water, the Vanke North Bank Health City project construction site has 200000 cubic meters, and the road surface is about 20000 cubic meters. The water supply, power supply, and elevator operation in the surrounding community are normal. At present, road waterlogging is basically controllable, and vehicles can pass through normally. At the same time, due to the impact of water related road sections, temporary roads have been opened and laid on the north side of the residential area in the Ideal Erwan B area for the normal entry and exit of homeowners. Next, a pumping optimization plan has been formulated to increase pumping efforts. Starting from September 4th, the park will add one Zhuozhou Housing and Construction Bureau dragon suction equipment and urgently purchase two special drainage equipment. It is expected that the pumping operation for all accumulated water in the area will be completed in 10 days. We are currently making every effort to restore the normal urban appearance of the area as soon as possible and ensure the normal living order of the people.
