Enshi "water company staff handled in time, confirm citizen's" red worm "red worms, and analyses the reason of these" red worm "residents may be used for secondary water supply reservoir caused by long-term unwashed.
Citizen astonishment: "red bug" from the water pipe
The people who found the "red bug" out of the water pipe were Mr. Zhu, who worked for a logistics company in the state city of China's selenium ecological park.
According to him, the "red bug" found in the water was on the morning of August 1. When his daughter washed up that morning, she suddenly noticed that many red bugs were coming out of the water pipe in the house, and she screamed with fear.
Hearing the screaming of her daughter, zhu quickly came to the faucet and saw that the red worm in the water was still squirming. He reflected the situation to the Chinese selenium ecological park property and other departments.
At the same time, the staff of the enshi municipal water company that received the telephone arrived at the scene.
