6.3.1) Wastewater treatment
A process in place to treat wastewater.
Before 2019, Tamsui Campus housed five on-campus sewage treatment plants at the gymnasium, swimming pool, chemical building, engineering building, foreign language building, and another one in Lanyang Campus. All the sewage treatment plants were operated and maintained by qualified contractors every year to monitor the operation of the sewage plant equipment. The wastewater produced by the school first enters the sewage plant for chemical treatment, then is discharged into the off-campus sewage pipeline. The quality of the discharged water is subject to regular sampling inspections by the school and aperiodic sampling inspections by local environmental protection agencies. The results have been meeting the discharge water standard.
Starting from 2019, in line with the completion of the government's public sewage system, all wastewater from the Tamsui campus has been incorporated into the New Taipei City public sewage pipeline. It is centrally processed at the government-established Tamsui Wastewater Treatment Plant. Our institution bears the cost of wastewater treatment. The wastewater is treated to meet national discharge standards through the plant's equipment before being discharged, achieving the goal of not polluting river water quality.
