During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the pipeline network has become one of the focuses of water pollution prevention and control. This trend can also be seen in the typical case report of the central ecological and environmental protection inspector.


In the second round of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspectorate, two cases of "pipeline network" have already been notified. One is "Insufficient rectification of the lagging sewage direct discharge problem in the construction and transformation of domestic sewage pipe network in Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province", and the other is "Zhuzhou, Hunan Province". The city’s sewage pipeline network is lagging behind and the mixed rain and sewage are directly discharged into the Xiangjiang River."


Many problems have been exposed, such as the slow construction of the sewage pipe network, which led to the direct discharge of sewage into the river, and the "clean water in and out" of the sewage treatment plant.


The announcement of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision Group will help promote local governments to pay more and more attention to the construction of pipe networks, thereby releasing more market opportunities. After all, according to the calculations of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the total investment of the national "sewage pipe network + rainwater pipe network" will exceed 2 trillion yuan, which will be a very large emerging market.

The attention of the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision Group is conducive to the release of the pipe network market.


It can be seen from the report of typical cases that the inspection team attaches great importance to the issue of pipe networks and requires local governments to increase their attention to this issue.


For example, when reporting the case of Zhuzhou, Hunan, the inspection team stated:


Zhuzhou City did not fully understand the extreme importance of the protection of the Yangtze River, did not put the transformation and upgrading of the sewage pipe network in an important position, failed to complete the task as planned, and the work progress was lagging behind. In particular, the problem of direct discharge of domestic sewage to the Xiangjiang River has not been effectively resolved. The data submitted by Zhuzhou City for the three times were quite different from the actual situation, the work was not strict and untrue, and there were thoughts of breaking through the barriers.


As we all know, the central eco-environmental protection inspector is mainly to "supervise the government". The purpose is to increase the importance of local party committees and governments on environmental issues and guide their specific work. The attention of the inspection team to the problems of the pipe network will also help promote the acceleration of the construction of local network management.


This is also consistent with the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. On March 30 this year, the Ministry of Environment held a regular press conference in March. Zhang Bo, the director of the Department of Water Resources, said that the current quality of urban sewage pipe networks is not high. Nearly reaching the standard, a considerable part of the water processed is not sewage but groundwater and rainwater.


During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the pipeline network will also become the focus of water pollution prevention and control. "Resolution on the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Outline of Long-Term Goals for 2035" Chapter 38, Section 2, "Comprehensively Improve the Level of Environmental Infrastructure" stipulates environmental infrastructure during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period Among the main tasks of the construction, "promoting full coverage of urban sewage pipe network" ranks first in water pollution control before accurate upgrading, harmless sludge and sewage recycling.



In addition, on June 10 this year, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Urban Sewage Treatment and Resource Utilization Development Plan" (Fagai Huanzi [2021] No. 827). The pipeline network work has also been arranged in detail. Documentation requirements:


Basically eliminate the direct discharge of domestic sewage and the blank areas of collection and treatment facilities in urban built-up areas, and strive to achieve a centralized collection rate of urban domestic sewage of more than 70%;


As we all know, solving the pipe network problem requires huge investment. Zhang Bo once said that the remediation of black and smelly water bodies involves a large amount of investment. There is an investment gap of one trillion yuan in the sewage pipe network alone, and the total amount of rainwater pipe network exceeds 2 trillion yuan.


Nowadays, under the promotion of the central ecological and environmental protection inspector, local governments will pay more and more attention to the problem of pipe network, which will bring more old pipe network renovation and new sewage pipe network construction, which will help the environmental protection industry. Continue to bring benefits and help release more market opportunities.
