Taiwan media: Affected by the power outage, 1.34 million households in Taiwan were once without water, and Kaohsiung became the hardest-hit area

　　[Global Web Comprehensive Report Reporter Zhao Youping] Taiwan's "Central News Agency" reported that this morning (3rd), the accident at the switchyard of the Xingda Power Plant caused a major power outage across Taiwan, and water was also cut off everywhere.

The Taiwan Water Company said that 1.34 million households in Taiwan were without water for a time, and the number of households without water has now dropped to about 1 million in the Kaohsiung area. Since they have been notified of the restoration of electricity, water will be gradually supplied.

　　According to the report, according to the information of the Taiwan Water Supply Company, the water cutoff covers the whole district of Kaohsiung City, Keelung, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Miaoli, Tainan, Pingtung, etc.

　　At 9:7 this morning, due to the switch yard accident of Xingda Power Plant, the ultra-high voltage substation in Longqi tripped the south unit, causing a power outage in the southern region and triggering low-frequency unloading in the central and northern regions. There are about 5.49 million households, and as of 12:00 noon, more than 70% of the households have resumed power supply.

　　According to the report, not only the power outage, but also many netizens reported that the water supply at home was also cut off. The Taiwan Water Supply Company said that the power outage caused about 1.34 million households in Taiwan to be without water at one time. At present, the number of households without water has been reduced to about 1 million. For Kaohsiung, the reason is that the Gaopingxi Barrier Weir needs to draw water through motor power. Earlier, Taipower had notified that it was preparing to restore power, and it would start pumping and gradually supplying water.
