The purposes of the project include the execution of industrial waste water process audit; the investigation of illicit discharge; Tainan City Environmental Protection Bureau (Tainan City EPB) actively manages and assists the registered factories in waste water treatment for the reduction of pollutants discharge into the river system of Tainan City. In the year 2016, Tainan City EPB has carried out 4,752 regular inspections (including business hour inspection and after hour inspection) on the registered factories in Tainan City. As the results of inspections and with the assistance of scientific instruments, Tainan City EPB has tracked down 2 illicit waste water discharging facilities. Furthermore, Tainan City EPB has performed discharge water samplings of 1,248 factories within the city, and has discovered that 158 factories have exceeded the legal discharging standards. Those factories have been given continuous counseling to improve the discharge water quality.
