Taipei City Government

To promote awareness of water resources and conservation, Taipei City Government offers inspection services to help households check water meters, leaks, and install low-flow faucets starting July 2016.
 
As of end of May of 2018, a total of 11,329 households have taken advantage of the program. Inspections identified 2,200 toilet tank leaks and 1,174 cases of other leaking equipment. This accomplishment contributed to an aggregate reduction of water consumption by 613,000 metric tons—the equivalent of NT$552 water bill savings per household per year.
 
The program is so well received that it will be extended.
 
To pass on water saving tips and visualize what actions one can take to reduce water consumption, Taipei Water Department has launched a campaign by dispatching a special promotion bus to conduct 160 promotion sessions at schools and communities. The public will have a chance practicing how to check water meters and toilet water tank and adjust faucet flow. Other water saving tips include reusing hand-washing water for flushes, using water saving shower heads and washing machines. The agency welcomes communities and boroughs to reserve a session by contacting its service center (TEL: 02-87335678).
 
At the ceremony inaugurating the bus on June 5, mayor Ko Wen-je called on members of the public to take actions in reducing water usage to minimize the possibility of water rationing.
