(CNA Reporter Lin Chiao-lien, Kaohsiung, 18th) Kaohsiung City's first social housing, "Kaisyuan Cing-shu," has experienced multiple instances of water leaks and false alarms. The Kaohsiung City Urban Development Bureau stated that it will conduct household drainage pipe inspections and chemical maintenance operations. Tenants can register for the service to ensure a safe and comfortable living environment.

The maintenance and management status of Kaisyuan Cing-shu social housing has made the news multiple times, and several councilors have interpellated regarding related defects. The Kaohsiung City Urban Development Bureau stated today that it will cooperate with the Kaohsiung City Housing and Urban Renewal Center to execute drainage pipe inspections and chemical maintenance at the Kaisyuan Cing-shu social housing, continuing to promote social housing policies from the perspectives of care, management, and enhancement of services.

The Urban Development Bureau stated via a press release today that the maintenance operations include inspecting and applying chemical maintenance to sink and bathroom drainage pipes. This aims to strengthen the maintenance of social housing drainage pipelines. Starting today, tenants can go to the first-floor service desk to register and schedule the operation.

Kaohsiung City Deputy Speaker Tseng Chun-chieh recently mentioned in an interpellation that Kaohsiung has built many social housing units across various districts in recent years, but the first to open, Kaisyuan Cing-shu, has frequently had problems. As the warranty periods for various facilities expire one after another, the city government should establish a standard operating procedure for social housing warranty maintenance and proactively conduct inspections and repairs before the warranty expires, avoiding a situation where claims cannot be made after expiration.

The Urban Development Bureau stated that the social housing is currently managed and maintained by the Housing and Urban Renewal Center. They have also produced promotional graphic cards to encourage residents to improve daily maintenance and usage. If residents find that drainage is unsmooth, they can report it for repair at any time, and service personnel will visit the household. The first-floor service desk also provides simple cleaning tools for residents to borrow, preventing similar incidents from recurring and causing inconvenience to residents' lives.

In addition, as temperatures in southern Taiwan gradually rise recently, the Housing and Urban Renewal Center reminds residents that regularly cleaning air conditioner filters can maintain AC efficiency, urging residents to establish good usage habits and jointly cherish public property and equipment.
