The staff member said that the direct losses caused by the floods such as factory building collapse and equipment flooding were limited and within the controllable range. However, floods caused water resource pollution and water plant facilities were damaged, leaving no time for repairs, which had a relatively large impact on production and life.
"Emergency repairs are under way, and the water supply is expected to be restored tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. However, most workers in the park live in the county, and the flooding is serious, so they need to go home for disaster relief. It is expected that it will take about a week for the factories in the park to fully resume operations." The staff member said.
