In recent years, Suijiang County in Zhaotong City has consistently taken livelihood projects as an important lever for advancing people's wellbeing and the best vehicle for enhancing the public's sense of happiness, striving to resolve the urgent difficulties and worries of the people, continuously accelerating the construction of livelihood projects, and "adding value" to the people's happy lives. In 2024, Suijiang County planned 18 key livelihood projects with a total investment of 1.826 billion yuan.
　　As the "capillaries" of a city, the underground pipe network supports the daily life of the public and is closely tied to urban quality and the people's sense of happiness. This year, Suijiang County invested 248 million yuan to renovate 97.5 kilometers of water supply and drainage networks, continuously optimizing the network layout through renovation and upgrading, and enhancing both the carrying capacity of the urban network and the city's intrinsic quality. At the water supply network renovation construction sites along Longteng Avenue, Longxing Avenue, and Fengling Road in Suijiang County, large machinery such as excavators, bulldozers, and road rollers shuttle back and forth, the roar of machines is incessant, and workers are busy chiseling pipes, cutting water pipes, laying pipelines, installing valves, and pouring concrete, constantly refreshing the project's "progress bar" and presenting a bustling, vibrant scene.
　　"Once the water supply network is completed, it can effectively reduce the frequency of water supply interruptions in our county seat, ensure the stability of water supply, and at the same time conserve water resources; the water leakage rate will drop from the original 27.6% to within the national standard of 9%," introduced a relevant person in charge from the Suijiang County Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau.
　　At the same time, the "Beautiful Homeland? Resettlement Community" project in Suijiang County is also being vigorously advanced. At the construction site of the "Beautiful Homeland? Resettlement Community" project in Fenghuang Community, Zhongcheng Town, Suijiang County, workers are closely coordinating to carry out work such as supplementary planting of greenery and laying floor tiles, and the construction site is orderly.
　　The "Beautiful Homeland Resettlement Community" project is a key livelihood project built by Suijiang County. It covers 7 communities with a total investment of more than 60 million yuan. Through public service facilities, infrastructure construction, greening and lighting, and other means, it improves the living environment and enhances the people's sense of happiness. "At present, the project is 85 percent complete, and all construction is expected to be finished in about 10 days," introduced He Shaocong, the person in charge of the construction site.
　　The construction of affordable rental housing, the development of community home-based elderly care service networks, natural gas renovation, kindergarten construction... The detailed implementation of one livelihood project after another has become a vivid manifestation of Suijiang County's in-depth implementation of the "livelihood priority" strategy, its efforts to do a good job in the "city" article, and its enhancement of urban functional quality and improvement of people's wellbeing.
