Construction And Planning

(3) Achievements in the construction of sewage systems
According to the "6th Stage of the Sewer Construction Plan (2021-2026)", as checked and rat-

ified by the Executive Yuan, the MOI continues promoting the construction of the entire country's
sewage systems. The construction expenditure is estimated to be NT$106.8 billion over six years.
The 2022 annual budget from the central government is NT$14.36 billion. In addition to continu-
ing to build sewage systems to maintain the performance from previous results to upgrade the

national competitiveness, continue environmental sustainability, consider the functions of intelli-
gence and disaster prevention resilience, and promote the strategy of "Continuous Public Sew-
age Sewer Construction" and "Construction of A Sustainable and Intelligent System", we hope to
gradually build a complete "New Generation of Sewage Sewer Circulation System".

As of the end of 2022, there were a total of 90 public sewer systems under construction, 81
public sewage treatment plants had been established, the cumulative number of households con-
nected to sewage systems reached about 3.75 million, and the public sanitary sewer connection
rate was 41.26%; for New Taipei City it was 72.06%, Taipei City 87.28%, Taoyuan City 22.33%, Taic-

hung City 25.6%, Tainan City 26.28%, Kaohsiung City 49.01%; the total of the Taiwan Province was
16.53%, and Fujian Province was 40.15%. The specific sanitary sewer setting rate was 9.68%, and
the building sewage processing facilities setting rate for households was 17.74%. The total sew-

age treatment rate was 68.68%.

(4) Promoting the reclamation of the effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants

Regarding water recycling, the MOI is promoting the implementation of t the "Reclaimed Wa-
ter Promotion Plan of Public Sewage Treatment Plant (2021-2026)", and the promotion results at
the end of 2022 are as follows.

As of the end of 2022, there are three cases: Fengshan in Kaohsiung, Linhai, and Yongkang in

Tainan, supplying 45,000, 33,000, and 8,000 cubic meters of reclaimed water daily, respectively,
with a total daily supply capacity of 86,000 cubic meters. Additionally, six cases, including An-
ping in Tainan, Rende, Futian in Taichung, Shuinan, Taobei in Taoyuan, and Qiaotou in Kaohsi-
ung City, are currently under construction.

The promotion of recycled water projects is based on water demand expansion. In January 2023, a
project modification was submitted for review by the Executive Yuan. In addition to the existing 11

projects, 5 new projects were added, totaling 16 projects. Among those, the projects that involve
