With the increasingly expansion of city scale, the growth of population of county seat as well as the continuously improvement of the people's living level, the water supply in Tongxu County is severely insufficient, which considerably constrains its economic and social development. Therefore, to build urban water supply network works and to set up a complete, rational and sound water supply system has become urgent. The Tongxu County this time, by the help of loan offered by World Bank, will build a water supply system with daily water supply capacity of 35000 m3/d. Presently in Tongxu County, there is 1 water plant with water supply capacity of 8000 m3/d, the water-consumption population is around 50000, and the consumption rate gets to 52%. The water supply is short, the contradiction between supply and demand is obvious for which sometimes suspension of water supply happens and severely affects the normal living of the people. In addition, the water supply network in this county is unreasonable with its overall arrangement, the technology of water treatment plant is incomplete, and the factors like the insufficiency of water-treatment degree have limited the development of water supply industry. In light of 2002-2010 City Overall Plan of Tongxu County, it is predicted that the gross water consumption of county seat in 2010 be 43400 m3/d, while that in 2020 be 75900 m3/d. So the construction for the water supply project will effectively relieve the tension situation of short supply. As a World Bank-funded project, this project is under the general organization by Henan Project Office. The preparation period of this project is from Jan. 2005 to Jun.2005, the construction period is from Jul.2005 to Aug.2006. It is predicted that this project will be put into use by the end of 2006. The total investment for this project is 5346.07 ten thousand yuan.
