At the beginning of this year, during the fifth session of the 13th Anhui Provincial People's Congress, Guan Li, a deputy of the Anhui Provincial People's Congress, put forward a proposal on adding toilets and direct drinking water facilities in public leisure places such as parks and scenic spots. In this regard, the Anhui Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Department of Culture and Tourism of Anhui jointly replied that the construction of public direct drinking water facilities will be gradually and orderly promoted. Guan Li said that in recent years, Anhui province has established many public leisure places, such as parks, scenic spots, greenways, etc., for citizens to enjoy sightseeing, relax and exercise, which has effectively improved their quality of life. However, the management services of these public leisure places are not refined enough. For example, more and more citizens go to the above-mentioned places to exercise daily, and their drinking water problem involves public management and service quality. To this end, Guan Li suggested adding hand-washing areas and drinking water facilities in these places so that citizens can drink healthy and high-quality drinking water for free and create a more comfortable leisure and fitness environment. The joint reply revealed that in the next step, Anhui province will gradually promote the arrangement of toilets and direct drinking water facilities in public leisure places such as parks and scenic spots. On the one hand, consolidate and improve the quality of water supply, continue to do a good job in the renovation of old pipe networks, strengthen water quality monitoring, regularly conduct spot checks on the water quality of the whole province and publicize it to the public to provide safe and high-quality water for direct drinking. At the same time, explore and study the model of public drinking water. Learn from the management experience of advanced regions, conduct in-depth research, innovate systems and mechanisms, gradually and orderly promote the construction of public direct drinking water facilities, and standardize the operation and management of direct drinking water. After the pilot direct drinking water facilities are put into use, strengthen the supervision of water quality and conduct regular testing to ensure the safety of water quality. In addition, by posting publicity slogans, warm reminders and other means around the outdoor direct drinking water facilities to popularize the relevant knowledge.
