As of the end of August 2026, the city’s sewer connection rate has reached 83.10%, with a total pipeline length of approximately 2,722 kilometers, making Taipei one of the leading cities nationwide in sewer connections, wastewater treatment, and service quality. For areas where sewer service connections remain difficult, the SSO and its contractors have worked together to engage extensively with residents, investing time and effort to overcome various challenges and ensure the completion of sewer connections.Chief Engineer Liao Chun-hao explained that in some mountainous areas, steep terrain prevents conventional sewer pipelines from reaching certain communities. To address wastewater treatment needs in such areas, the SSO spent two years coordinating with residents in the Baishihu area of Neihu District, securing community consensus and land use approvals. The project was implemented by the SSO in collaboration with the Southeast District design-build team for expanding sewer connections in low-connection areas. By incorporating hydropower and solar energy systems to generate green electricity and adopting a public-private partnership model for operation and maintenance, Taipei’s first community-based wastewater treatment facility was completed. The facility has significantly improved the environment and stream water quality in hillside communities and has received widespread recognition.Liao also pointed out that for sewer pipelines already in operation, the SSO adopts trenchless spiral wound lining and expanded lining technologies in rehabilitation projects to minimize disruptions to daily life and traffic. These methods reduce the need for workers to enter pipelines, thereby significantly lowering occupational safety risks. Once rehabilitated, pipelines can remain in service for more than 30 years. The SSO continues to advance sewer infrastructure development while maintaining strict standards for project progress, safety, and quality, ensuring that all projects are completed on time, to specification, and with zero occupational accidents.The SSO emphasized that sewerage infrastructure improves public health and environmental sanitation, helps prevent pollution of rivers and the environment, enhances water quality and waterfront recreational spaces, and supports the sustainable use of water resources.
