◎ Description:
“Sun Moon Lake”, situated in the middle of Taiwan, is the largest freshwater lake in the Taiwan main island, with reputation of its natural heritage of sceneries and several tourist destinations. However, the water pollution of Sun Moon Lake has become a serious issue because of development of tourist industry where the Lake is located. Two commercial marketplaces adhere to Sun Moon Lake were established where hundreds of restaurants and shops were built as well as dozens of exclusive hotels and accommodations. The enormous number of tourists came with garbage. The wastewater, at first, was transported directly into the Lake without any treatment. A wastewater treatment plant and an underground drainage system were built for transporting and purifying the wastewater before it was injected to the Lake after sometime. The treatment plant and drainage system were unfortunately seriously damaged after a major earthquake hit the area. The plant, as a result, only perform parts of its function and is not able to satisfy the region’s wastewater treatment need. Therefore, the drainage system has to be re-built and re-covered to perform its water treatment at maximum capacity. The construction of new drainage system and wastewater treatment plant started in 2005 under the support of the Sun Moon Lake National Scenic Area Administration of Taiwan Tourism Bureau. After the launch of new drainage system, the facility collects the wastewater generated by restaurants, hotels and households. The wastewater then flows through the underground pipelines to the pumping station where HCP submersible pump are installed to pump the fluid to treatment tanks of wastewater treatment system. The new drainage system and waste water treatment plant were launched by the end of year 2009.
