Slapdash engineering works on permanent housing cause disaster victims to lament

In the second phase of a permanent housing program at Ri An Community (日安社區) in Chukou Vil., Fanlu Township, Chiayi County, residents have found serious problems with the engineering work.

On top of poor drainage design, which has prevented domestic sewage from being discharged into the sewage treatment plant, some residents have also discovered that the backyard septic tank is only covered with a thin layer of earth; standing on top, one can literally feel the earth tremble and shake below one’s feet.

Ri An Community chairman Qiu Chuan-yuan (邱川原) said: “We reported flaws in the public engineering work to the township office and county economic affairs department quite some time ago; however, to date there has been no response.” He appealed to the county government and contractor to resolve the problems as soon as possible, and not to continue forcing disaster victims to live in fear.

永久屋公共工程破相 災民感嘆 影音

位於嘉義縣番路鄉觸口村轆子腳的88風災「日安社區」永久屋第二期，被居民發現公共工程破相，除了社區排水設計不良，造成家庭汙水無法排入汙水處理廠外，部分居民後院的「化糞池」，更只被一層薄薄的黃土覆蓋，人站在上面，便可以感受巨大抖動和搖晃。日安社區理事長邱川原表示：社區公共工程瑕疵的部分，很早以前就向鄉公所、縣府建設處反映，但迄今仍無下文。他呼籲縣府和包商盡速派員處理，別讓災民生活在恐懼中。
