Did Shijiazhuang cancel the sprinkler?

According to official website's inquiry, Hebei Internet Radio and Television Station held a video dispatching meeting of the city's flood control and sanitation sprinkling operation on the afternoon of July 12, 2023. At the meeting, Shijiazhuang Urban Management Bureau put forward specific requirements for sprinkler operation.

The first is sprinkling time. Road sprinklers and fog gun trucks are strictly forbidden to work on the road in the morning and evening rush hours, and water flushing machines should also avoid the morning and evening rush hours. At other times, sprinkler operation can be carried out according to the requirements of the Municipal Atmospheric Office.

The second is the problem of sprinkling water in rainy days. It is necessary to pay close attention to the weather forecast in time. In case of rainy weather, it is forbidden to use sprinklers and fog gun trucks on the road to avoid misunderstanding by the public.

The third is the precautions for sprinkler operation. The alarm sound when the sprinkler is running shall not disturb the people. In the viaduct, downhill, schools and kindergartens around the road, we must strictly control the amount of water. Strengthen the training and education of sprinkler drivers, and carry out sprinkler operations in strict accordance with the requirements.

The fourth is to strengthen supervision and inspection. Strengthen the supervision and inspection of sprinkling water on urban roads in counties (cities, districts) during peak hours and rainy days, investigate the responsibility of those who fail to implement it, implement a one-vote veto system in city appearance evaluation, and resolutely put an end to the adverse effects caused by sprinkling water on urban roads in society. It can be seen that there are sprinklers in Shijiazhuang, but there are still sprinklers.
