In view of local needs, we proactively invited the 38 district offices, Taipower and relevant units to discuss the matter last year. The district offices and representatives of the public were entrusted to assist in the compilation of local opinions and handed them over to the city government and Taipower for step-by-step implementation.
In response to the concerns of many city councilors such as Chien Huan-chung and Bai Qiao-yin about the progress of laying cables to the ground, Gao City Public Works Director Yang Qinfu explained that the average cost of laying cables to the ground is 20,000 yuan per meter, with the city government and Taipower each paying half. The city government allocates about 3 yuan per meter every year. Tens of millions of dollars of funds are spent to coordinate the implementation. As long as local governments reach a consensus, most of them can be implemented.
The Public Works Bureau added that part of the project was due to residents’ doubts about the location of the electrical boxes, or problems with the land, underground pipelines, etc., which prevented the smooth progress of the cable laying project. The current annual budget of 30 million yuan is almost enough, and it will still be available this year. increased to 37 million yuan.
Local people revealed privately that the pre-installation work of laying cables underground requires coordination with the local government. The subsequent management and maintenance are also more complicated than the road system, and must be carefully evaluated based on the actual situation.
