Estimation and Counseling Project of Pollution Reduction of Domestic Sewage.

Absrtact	Domestic sewage has become one of the major sources of river pollution in Taiwan. The most effective way to resolve the household wastewater problem is to speed up the construction of public sewage systems. Moreover, advocating the concept of source reduction for the public and improving the treatment efficiency of end-of-pipe systems are particularly advantageous to mitigate the current pollution by domestic sewage. The general subscription ratio to community sewage systems, 10%, is comparable to that to public sewage systems, 13%. Therefore the importance of community sewage systems should not be overlooked. Generally, the members of community committee are strange to their own treatment facilities and to related laws. Additionally, the mal-operation and insufficient maintenance budget prevent the sewage systems from wielding their maximum function. To resolve the problems, this project would first shoot a video, teaching the public how to correctly operate community sewage systems as well as how to implement pollution control measures in our daily lives. It is planned to distribute 3000 copies, in a wish to effectively promote this project. Secondly, three communities, where the household number exceeds 300, would be chosen for demonstration. Then the main task of this project is to coach the residents how to take various measures of source reduction as well as how to correctly management their own treatment facilities. One of the three communities, which demonstrates the best result, would be rewarded and promoted as the role model around Taiwan. Because the quality of wastewater operating companies is critical to the treatment efficiency, it is necessary to create the specific rules and qualifications for these companies to meet. Finally, two seminars would be held. Environmental authorities and wastewater operating companies invited would share their idea about this counseling project and discuss future policy and management direction for domestic sewage. Therefore, the future law revision and enforcement will be supported by diverse opinions.
