Water pipe cut-off valve hard to find thousands of tons of water flow

Water pipe digging is not news, but the valve is hard to find and repaired by tap water for several hours, still stinging the hearts of residents. On the morning of October 31, when a construction company buried underground communication cables on the excavation road, it will use a water pipe. The excavation resulted in the flooding of thousands of tons of water in the vicinity of the road entrances of the Quanxiu Street in downtown Quanzhou, Fujian. The difficulty of finding valves is to bring a lot of difficulties to the repair work.

A main water pipe was cut off and flooded the driveway. On the morning of October 31st, in an irritating sound, an excavator was operating near the traffic exit of Quanxiu Street in the central area of ​​Quanzhou, digging the concrete road of the road section. Open a trench along the street that is 40 centimeters wide and deep.

At about 10 o'clock in the morning, the construction excavator broke an underground water pipe here. With the loud bang of "Hey," huge pressure taps into the sky. Since the tapped water pipe is one of the main pipelines in the eastern district of the urban area, the large diameter and high water pressure, and the large amount of tap water spewing out, will soon submerge the non-motor vehicle lanes and motor vehicle lanes of this section, resulting in a lot of passing. Non-motorized vehicles and motor vehicles drown.

After the B-driver took the opportunity to scour the water at the site of the car wash, the operator of the excavator quickly took the excavator and stopped it on the sidewalk about 50 meters away. Subsequently, after driving through the incident, some drivers found that "there was free water to wash the car." After that, they drove their cars to the water column and rinsed.

After a while, a middle-aged man drove a bulldozer to the site and used a bulldozer to hold down the tapped water pipe and try to control the flow of water.

At about 12 o'clock, it was at the peak of residents' water use. The digging water pipes remained unrepaired. Thousands of tenants and merchants in Wenling New City, Sunny Paris, Quanxiu Garden, Wuzhou Community and Dongmei Community stopped watering. Some residents and merchants took plastic buckets of different sizes and drowned back at the damaged water pipes.

C valve was arbitrarily moved to inconvenience caused by repairs, in fact, the Quanzhou Water Company repair team personnel quickly rushed to the scene and started repairs. However, by 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the rescue team found the upper and lower control valves of the above tapped water pipe near Tian'an Road and Pingshan Road in the downtown area and closed it. About two hours later, the tapped water pipe was finally repaired and normal water supply resumed.

“Many tap water valves in urban areas are hard to find.” In an interview on October 31st, Quanzhou Water Company repair team Huang master introduced that when tap water companies built underground water pipelines, they were on both sides of the main and secondary roads in urban areas. Many control valves were built. However, in the recent years of real estate development, main and secondary arterial road widening and reconstruction, and related departments in the construction of underground pipe networks, some construction units have arbitrarily moved or even destroyed these valves without the consent of the water company and so on. The repair and maintenance of urban water pipelines has caused serious inconvenience.
