　　 Leather industry zone Blue and stinky sewage is being discharged

"It's the tannery area that discharges the sewage." Local residents told reporters that due to the power failure on that day, the sewage discharge was not as large as usual, and the sewage flowed along the ditch to Hengshui City in the downstream. In the process of flowing through, the sewage will continuously leak into the ground along the way. Due to the large amount of toxic and harmful substances in tannery wastewater, the well water in many villages and towns around them has exceeded the standard.

The villagers told the reporter that the tricycle was specially designed to deliver water to all households, and it was very busy every day“ The price of a barrel of water ranges from 5 to 10 yuan, and the cheapest one costs 5 yuan. Even if it is saved to the limit, a bucket of water can only be used for three days. "

"The well water pumped up will turn green after a period of time. More than 80% of the villagers buy bottled water for living. There are some people who can't afford it. They can only buy a filter to filter and drink the well water. Although we all know that the well water exceeds the standard, there is no way." Villagers say that it costs thousands of yuan to buy water each year, but for the high price water, they only use it to cook and drink, but usually wash it clothes Wash the face and simply use well water“ A lot of people here suffer from pruritus. Compared with before the establishment of the tanning Industrial Park, the number of patients with cancer, uremia, heart and brain diseases or other strange diseases has increased significantly in recent years. "

"It has been more than 20 years since the tanning Park was completed and put into operation. After more than 20 years of mining and pollution, the environmental effect has begun to highlight. Not only can the well water be drunk, but also the water level has dropped a lot."

Diaoying village and samaying village in Xinji city are the two nearest villages to the tanning area, and they are also the most seriously polluted villages, with a straight-line distance of less than km from the tanning area. Reporters in anchor Camp Village interviews, from time to time smell a foul smell of animal fur, people feel suffocating. Villagers said that the smell is nothing. In summer, it is their real nightmare. They are often awakened by the strong smell in the middle of the night.

A villager surnamed Dong in diaoying village told reporters that some large tanneries in Xinji tanning park also dug underground seepage wells for underground sewage discharge“ Yongx leather's blowdown well is in its backyard. "

"Businessmen care about money, but people care about life. Is money important or life important?" The villagers said angrily that they had reported the pollution problem to the environmental protection department of Xinji market for many times, but no one paid any attention to it. "They had fed the enterprise for a long time, and even some leaders took shares in the enterprise. At best, they took the form of driving around. Anyway, they didn't live here, so they couldn't pollute them."

Wang told reporters that Xinji Environmental Protection Bureau had tested the well water in their village. The original test results showed that four of the six indicators were qualified, among which the most important indicators of Gong and Cr were not marked out. He had asked the Environmental Protection Bureau for this test report, but was rejected.

So it simply discharges the wastewater directly and often overflows onto the road“ These trees and plants were burned to death by the overflowing sewage
