Stable Water Supply & Services
Diversified Development of Water Sources
The current development of water sources in Taiwan focuses on traditional water sources (surface water and groundwater). On one hand, TWC cooperates with the Water Resources Agency’s water resources development project as the pilot project and jointly deploys and utilizes water resources with the reservoirs for the relevant downstream water supply projects to increase water supply dispatching capacity and implement the policy of reduction in groundwater pumping. On the other hand, TWC actively enriches its own water sources, such as the weirs and renewal of water intake facilities, self-developed regional small water sources and so on in order to increase the water supply capacity and backup capacity when high turbidity is found or during dry season. In addition, dredging is strengthened and reservoir storage capacity is increased to reduce the risk of water shortage.

Qualified Rate of Water Quality
TWC complies with the Drinking Water Quality Standards for water quality testing of water treatment plants, and all water treatment plants under its jurisdiction are required to carry out water quality testing and monitoring. There are 68 inspection items in Drinking Water Quality Standards, and the inspection ratio reaches 100%. In order to enhance the water quality inspection capability, TWC is working on the promotion of the quality assurance/quality control system. What is more, we are even devoted to the promotion of the verification of water quality inspection of the Department of Water Quality and the inspection units of the Branches to greatly improve the quality, credibility and accuracy of the water quality inspection.
Emergency Response Mechanism
To cope with the emergency response work, including the command, supervision, coordination, and data collection and transmission of various kinds of disasters and emergencies, TWC will set up the TSW Disaster and Emergency Response Team when the Central Emergency Operation Center or Central Emergency Operation Group of the Ministry of Economic Affairs need it. To let the board of directors know the condition of the emergency or disaster, in the event of an emergency notification of a disaster above Level B, the shift staff of the emergency response team of the General Management Office will send the report to the board members’ email boxes to inform them of the case.
