Part of the urban area of Dujiangyan city had resumed water supply by noon that day.
Since the occurrence of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Wenchuan, Dujiangyan has suffered heavy casualties and losses, and water, electricity and gas supplies have been cut off for nearly three days. The head of the municipal tap water company introduced that after all-out repairs, some areas of the main urban area had resumed water supply by noon on May 15. Because of the serious damage to the underground pipe network, there are still some places without water. And the supplied water is low-pressure non-potable water. The public should pay attention to hygiene and conserve water when using it.
At present, power and gas lines are still under repair.
During the repairs of the tap water pipelines, diesel generators, cutting machines and other equipment are still urgently needed. Support from the society is hoped for.
