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, Taipei Campus, and 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) conducts a water quality sample inspection every 3 months. The test results consistently meet the “Drinking Water Quality Standards” set by the Ministry of Environment.

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.

To achieve the goal of not polluting the river water, all sewage from the Tamsui campus is now connected to the New Taipei City public sewage pipeline system. It is then centralized and treated at the Danhai Sewage Treatment Plant established by the government. The university bears the cost of sewage treatment, and the sewage is processed by the plant's facilities until it meets national discharge standards before being released.
