On the 21st, law enforcement officers from the Yunnan Management Bureau of Kunming City inspected factories, enterprises, and workshops in the Zhaozong Village area of ​​Wuhua District and discovered that production wastewater from a pharmaceutical factory was suspected of being discharged into Dashagou, a tributary of the Xinyunliang River. The reporter saw that the pharmaceutical factory has two sewage treatment stations and is treating sewage in the factory area. However, the production sewage flowing out of a factory did not enter the sewage treatment station. Instead, it was discharged through multiple pipes into the rainwater ditch outside the factory. “It wasn't there when I inspected it this morning, and it hasn't been discovered before. I don't know what went wrong, but we will investigate. ”When asked by law enforcement officials, a person in charge of the factory said. “We also came here yesterday and found that there was a problem with this sewage outlet. At that time, more production wastewater flowed out. ”Law enforcement officials disputed the factory director's claims. “During a recent inspection, we found that there are many factories, enterprises, and workshops on both sides of Dashagou, which discharge wastewater into Dashagou through rainwater ditches. Dashagou is a tributary of the Xinyunliang River, and the Xinyunliang River is one of the rivers that enters the lake in Caohai. In other words, these production wastewater will flow directly into Dianchi Caohai. ”law enforcement officials said. “No, this rainwater ditch is connected to the municipal pipe network. ”After hearing what the law enforcement officers said, the person in charge of the factory said this. Subsequently, the law enforcement officers and the person in charge followed the rainwater ditch to a pipe in the downstream and adjacent Dashagou, picked several flowers of different colors and threw them into the rainwater ditch. After a few minutes, these flowers floated on the water of Dashagou along the current. Facing this scene, the person in charge of the factory showed an embarrassed look on his face. “Even the municipal pipe network cannot directly discharge production sewage. ”law enforcement officials said. Afterwards, law enforcement officers took water samples from the sewer outlet and issued an "Investigation Notice" to the factory, requiring rectification within a time limit. Later, law enforcement officers also discovered that the septic tank of a machine tool company was overflowing, and the sewage also flowed into the rain drain. Law enforcement officials said that they will further strengthen inspection and supervision to ensure that there are no interruptions in river inspections, and resolutely crack down on the discharge of sewage into lakes and tributaries.
