Major water main break impacts thousands in a New York county_我的网站

一 |     每日商报讯 出门等公交，对不少不擅长摆弄智能手机的老年人来说，总像在开“盲盒”，要么顶着烈日或大雨在站台干熬，要么刚转身离开，就眼睁睁看着班车从眼前溜走，白白耽误十几分钟。    WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- A state of emergency was issued Thursday in a northern New York county, where the Fort Drum U.S. Army base is located, following a major water main break that has left tens of thousands without water. Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado said 32,000 gallons (121,000 liters) of drinking water from six of the state’s regional stockpiles, as well as 11 water tankers, an incident management team and other staff, were being deployed to Watertown, a community of more than 24,500 people located more than 170 miles (275 kilometers) northwest of Albany. Smaller nearby communities have also been affected by the water shortage. Officials said a total of more than 45,000 people have been impacted.“We’re here with you and we’re going to do everything we can moving forward to ensure that we resolve this as fast as we can,” Delgado said during an evening news briefing. He was joined by other state and local leaders, as well as officials from Fort Drum, which has provided thousands of gallons of drinking water from its own system to the community as well, with promises to provide more if necessary.Watertown Mayor Jeffrey Smith said a 12-foot-long (3.6-meter) piece of piping from the city's water treatment plant, likely about 50 years old, split late Wednesday night. He said after the piping is expected to be repaired on Thursday night, workers will begin pressurizing the system, a process that could take 24 to 36 hours. Smith warned that more water breaks might occur, given the age of parts of the water system.“We're hoping by Saturday, Sunday at the latest, that the reservoirs and the system is filled and then another two-to-three days after that, you'll have to boil water,” said Smith, estimating people will have to boil water for 48 to 72 hours. Multiple water stations were being set up in Watertown where residents can obtain bottled and canned water, as well as fill up their own containers. Both drinking and non-potable water is available. The Watertown City School District will be closed on Friday.。这一困扰成了不少银发族的出行痛点，如今有了接地气的解法——杭州公交创新推出 的“电子站牌进社区”新模式，让老年朋友足不出小区，在家门口就能掌握就近公交的全部动态。昨天下午，记者赶到率先试点的铭元北城枫景园，走进小区东南门旁的“乐享幸福里”活动室，抬头便能见到墙上挂着的公交发车预告屏，白马庄街华鹤街口站途经的5条核心线路正实时滚动——车辆编号、行驶方向、下一班时间，所有信息一目了然。活动室驻点工作人员王海告诉记者，这块前天才正式投用的屏幕，恰好戳中了小区老年居民最在意的出行痛点，“公交站牌离活动室不过几步路，只要盯着屏幕掐点出门，再也不会错过车了。而且屏幕设计上也做了‘减法’，不像手机App那样信息繁杂，只聚焦社区周边最常用的几条线，字体和界面也都照顾老年人的阅读习惯。

三 | 他告诉记者，杭州公交正持续优化线路和运力调配，今年则进一步把服务重心向老年群体倾斜，着力解决“候车久”“到站步行远”等现实难题。“电子站牌进社区”正是“公交安心达”整体方案的关键一环，目的就是为夏季高温天里等车的老年人纾困。当然，从想法到落地并非一蹴而就。据吴俊回忆，“公交安心达”方案早在年初便开始部署，4月份正式启动专项调研。期间除了社区业委会审批，还经历多部门协同选址等流程，最终形成了一套配套的选址方案——将根据各个小区凉亭、活动中心、纳凉点等不同场地条件灵活调整安装点位。铭元北城枫景园之所以能够成为首个试点，正是因为这里老年人口密集，且业委会高效配合，最终快速落地实施。

四 | 记者了解到，这次的尝试只是个开始。按照规划，大关、德胜、小河街道等多个点位已进入施工推进阶段，预计8月可陆续完成电子站牌进社区的布置。后续，杭州公交还将因地制宜灵活拓展布设场景，稳步扩大服务覆盖范围，让更多市民在家门口就能享受到省心、舒适的公交候车服务。
