Widening the road actually blocked the ditch

The first section of Guangfu Road, Tianwei Township, Changhua County is an important road leading to the township next door. The original road was narrow. After 30 years of struggle, the villagers finally widened in 2017. However, the local drainage ditch often emits a foul odor after opening to traffic. It can also be successful in wet summer. Swarms of cockroaches crawled out of the drainage holes, which made the scalp tingling. It was found that the construction unit blocked the drainage ditch when the road was widened, and the waste water flowed from nowhere to form stinky water, which caused the breeding of mosquitoes. The residents endured it for 2 years. No, I complained that the grass bale project smelled bad. Guangfu Road (County Road 154) in Tianwei Township is the main road connecting Tai Line 1 to Shetou Township, which is located in the Futian section at the junction of the two townships. The road width is only 6 meters, and the intersection of two cars is inconvenient. Car accidents often occur, 2016 The county government received a budget of 55.16 million yuan to carry out a 12-meter widening project, which took one and a half years to complete and open to traffic. After opening to traffic, the villagers were originally encouraged, but every rainy season or dry season, a large number of mosquitoes, cockroaches, or foul odors began to emerge from the drainage ditch holes on both sides of Lane 145 and Lane 146 on Guangfu Road. The residents only found out when they cleaned the sewer. The gully culvert running through Guangfu Road was actually sealed, and the dirty water was nowhere to flow. As a result, the alleys on both sides of the road were constantly breeding with mosquitoes and the smell was not dispersed. The villagers endured for 2 years and had to express their feelings to the county councilor Liu Shufang. Chen Zhuangfei, the director of the Futian Community Association, said that the residential area here relies on this ditch to circulate domestic wastewater. It is suspected that it was accidentally sealed by cement when it was widened, and the water could not be drained out. For two years, the community has paid tens of thousands of dollars to clean up the accumulated water and the ditch. However, it is necessary to improve the unit as soon as possible. The road is open, but the drainage is not open! People with the family name of Ye said that when they were widening, they repeatedly stung that the drainage ditch of the construction unit must not be filled with soil. I did not expect that it was sealed with cement and did not recover after construction. Fortunately, there was no typhoon in recent years, otherwise the surrounding area would be flooded. This kind of project passed the acceptance check, which is basically a straw package project. In this regard, Lin Hanbin, director of the Changhua County Office of Public Works, said that the groundwater ditch is an old waterway for farmland water conservancy ditch. Most of the water pipes are old, but there is no instruction to seal the water pipes in the widening project. The ditch at the junction of the alley is lower than the old water pipe, forming a cross-section. The water cannot be drained until the water is insufficient. After receiving the report, a staff member has been sent to investigate, and the Tianwei Township Office has been asked to propose an improvement plan to assist in the establishment of culvert subsidies
