6.3.2) Preventing water system pollution
Processes to prevent polluted water entering the water system, including pollution caused by accidents and incidents at the university.

To prevent polluted water from entering the clean tap water system, the university has installed a total of 38 tap water storage towers on the Tamsui campus, the Taipei campus, and the Lanyang campus. The opening of each water storage tower is locked and under safety control by the management personnel. Every year, a professional contractor is commissioned to clean the tower body. In addition, the Taiwan Inspection Technology Co., Ltd. (SGS) will conduct a water quality sample inspection every 3 months.

In addition, the school has established a map illustrating the distribution of tap water pipelines and sewage pipelines on campus, assisting professional hydropower technicians in arranging inspection plans. In the case of abnormal water leakage, repairs will be carried out immediately to avoid cross-contamination between water pipelines. The sewage generated by the laboratory is also subjected to primary treatment before being discharged into the sewage pipe and then taken over to the off-campus sewage treatment plant through the sewage sewers for further treatment.

Starting from 2019, since the public sewage sewers implemented by the government had been completed, the Tamsui campus sewage is fully incorporated into the public sewage and sewer pipelines of New Taipei City and concentrated in the government-run Sewage Treatment Plant. The sewage is treated and discharged until it meets the national standard to prevent polluting the river water quality.
