People's livelihood is the foundation of people's happiness and the root of social harmony. In recent days, the Yongning Treatment Area construction project of the 2024 first batch flood control and management project at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains and the Minning Town sewage reconstruction and expansion project in Yongning County are being advanced at full speed.
　　The Yongning Treatment Area construction project of the 2024 first batch flood control and management project at the eastern foot of the Helan Mountains, with an investment of 301 million yuan, serves as an important defense line to protect the lives and property of local residents and is being carried out in an orderly manner according to the established plan. At the construction sites of Sections 8, 9 and 10, excavators and earth-moving trucks are busy amid the roar of machinery, and workers shuttle across the construction sites, meticulously carrying out every task.
　　Zhang Wei, head of the project management unit Dazhou Design & Consulting Group Co., Ltd.: "The project has 13 sections in total, of which 6 sections involve channel management and 7 sections involve flood-retention reservoirs. Sections 8, 9 and 10 have just started and entered the construction stage. For the other 10 sections of channel management, the completed work volume has basically accounted for 20% of the total investment."
　　In response to the low soil moisture content and dust pollution in the construction area, dedicated fog cannon machines have been deployed at the construction site to effectively control on-site dust. In addition, the frequency of watering operations has been increased, and the construction roads are regularly moistened to further reduce the dust content in the air. To ensure the effective implementation of environmental protection and soil and water conservation during project construction, environmental protection supervisors and soil and water conservation supervisors are on site to supervise the construction unit in strictly complying with environmental protection regulations and soil and water conservation requirements, protecting the surrounding environment and maintaining ecological balance.
　　Meanwhile, the sewage reconstruction and expansion project in Minning Town, Yongning County, is also in full swing. As the project progresses, the sewage treatment capacity of Minning Town will be significantly improved, strongly promoting a steady improvement in ecological and environmental quality.
　　Gou Wei, head of Ningxia Zhongji Project Management Co., Ltd.: "Since the project started, we have completed the demolition of the greening, roads and wall sections of the original plant area. Then we built a new sludge tank, disinfection tank and flow measurement channel. We have also completed the foundations of the comprehensive equipment plant area, ancillary buildings and the sludge dewatering workshop. As for the steel structure part, it has now been processed at the plant. As for equipment, we have now completed the procurement of all equipment. Because the volume of domestic sewage is relatively large in summer, we will complete the entire project as soon as possible by the end of August while ensuring project quality, and it is expected to be put into normal use by the end of September."
　　In recent years, Yongning County has persisted in asking the people about their needs, soliciting their opinions and consulting them on governance, letting "people's livelihood" follow the "voice of the people." The implementation of these livelihood projects will continuously improve the quality of life of the people of Minning Town. In the future, Yongning County will continue to intensify the construction of livelihood projects, continuously improve infrastructure, enhance public service levels, and enable the people to gain more benefits from development and share in the fruits of development.
