Ningbo is a famous Chinese port city with many nationals living abroad. It is one of the subordinate cities to the central government permitted by the State Council, which ranked higher than other cities. It is located in the developed east part of Zhejiang Province.

City water supply is important infrastructure that is vital to the development of national economy and the improvement of domestic living quality. The first Jiangdong Water Works set up in 1956 is a solid and important starting step for the development of Ningbo water supply business. After 48 years' pioneering work, it has developed into Ningbo General Tap Water Company. Now it has become a multi-functional enterprise that mainly majors in water supply, sales service and facility maintenance, and meanwhile it also deals with supply project plan, construction, production of high quality water, hydro-technique development and research, production and installment of water supply facility and other diversifications.

Ningbo General Tap Water Company aims at improving drinking water quality and service quality. According to the requirement of modern enterprise system, based on its actual situation, the company has kept on deepening reform and strengthening management to lay a solid foundation for self-development so as to assure the construction and continuous development of Ningbo economy. Till August of 2004, its fixed assets is up to RMB 1,911,000,000, the general water production capacity reaches 970,000 ton per day and the highest supply capacity is 882,000 ton per day. Now it has Jiangdong, Nanjiao, Meilin, Cicheng and Beilun subordinate water works. Our company now takes the responsibility to provide water for central city area of Ningbo, covering Haishu, Jiangdong, Jiangbei, Zhenhai, Beilun and part of Yinzhou District with a supply area of 600 square kilometers, supply population of over 1200000, which means an availability to all the residents. The water supply tube with over DN100mm is 1278.2 kilometers, the diversion tube between DN800 and DN1600mm is 122 kilometers. The total staff is 1264, among which there are 275 professional technicians, 2 senior engineers, 21 with advance titles, 115 with intermediate titles, 1 doctor, 1 master and 179 bachelors.

In order to improve water quality and supply capability, we have set up Hengshan, Tingxia, Yingxiong reservoirs and Xiaozhen diversion works and replaced diversion from rivers with that from reservoirs. Now we have built up a water supply tube net for the city. Meanwhile, we also have set up detecting measures and advanced monitor station for water supply. The detecting range is 104 items. The turbidity of all the water works is lower than 0.5NTU, the hydraulic pressure is between 0.25 and 0.35Mpa, and the average percentage of pass is 99.6%. The set-up of technical center of hydro-industry project has provided technical support for city water supply, drainage, water processing, water resources, water environment and the development of water business.

With the rapid development of Ningbo economic society, city water demand has rocked up. In order to meet the requirement of the principle of satisfying market and demand, advancing appropriately and improving development, and in order to speed up significant water supply project construction, our company plans to invest nearly RMB5,000,000,000 to construct Baixi and Jiao Kou (Zhou Gong Zhai) diversion project, water supply project for important industry, Dong Qian Lake and Mao Jia Ping water works, water supply project for regional development and construction and modernized technique renovation project of water works.

According to "highway mode of water supply", we plan to construct looped tube net of city water supply to improve its safety reliability. Since 2000 we have transformed roof water containers and installed separate water meter for each family to achieve the integration of rural and suburb water supply. And we try to finish this project at the end of 2005.

In water supply service, we are society and people-benefit-oriented.
