The sewerage construction is a kind of public facilities closely associated with people’s daily lives. It can not only improve the environmental sanitation and the quality of life but also prevent the river from being contaminated and improve the quality of river basin, which can make the river return to nature.
The sewerage construction has a deep influence in the environment and the urban development. It is considered one of the important indicators when it comes to the evaluation of a country’s or a city’s competitiveness and the livability of homes. It can also be thought of as essential public facilities in modern cities.
After the merger of Taichung County and City, the land area of it reaches up to 221,490 hectares, which is thirteen times larger than original Taichung City. According to the statistics on the prevalence of house pip-connection and wastewater treatment on Dec. 31, 2000, from the Construction and Planning Agency Ministry of the Interior, R.O.C., before the merger, the usage rate of house pipe-connection of sewerage construction in Taichung City is 22.81%, while that in Taichung County is only 1.47%. Because of the low usage rate in Taichung County, after the merger, the whole usage rate in Taichung area is significantly lower than before and even comes to last compared to the other municipalities---Taipei City (100%), New Taipei City (36.60), Tainan City (11.78), Kaohsiung City (38.42), and Taichung City (10.68%).
The main reasons why the sewerage construction in Taichung City after its merger falls behind are as follows. (1) The organization of the sewerage construction lacks sufficient manpower. (2) Chiefs of the local government have no intention to implement the sewerage construction when considering the large expenses needed to invest in such a time-consuming construction, which cannot easily show significant achievements during their reign. (3) Local residents see the sewerage construction as abhorrence and are constantly opposed to it. (4) Some parts of sewerage construction involving cross-administrative regions are hard to implement. (5) The early urban planning didn’t take the sewerage construction scheming into consideration and also didn’t involve it in the building management. Thus, it leads to people’s misunderstanding about it and makes the following construction of house pipe-connection more difficult.
Taichung Water Resource Bureau devotes itself to promoting the usage rate of house pip-connection after the merger of Taichung County and City. By December, 2014, the usage rate has increased up to 16.23%. However, the prevalence of public sewerage construction in current Taichung City is still placed the lowest among the five municipalities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the methods for carrying out the house pipe-connection before and after the merger of Taichung City.
