Huwei River Estuary Introduction
During the Japanese colonial period, in 1896, the Japanese hired British engineer Barton as a sanitary engineering consultant for the Taiwan Governor-General's Office to address the water supply issues in Taiwan. The "Shuangjuntou Water Treatment Plant" is now the first water treatment plant in Taiwan. The classical stone archway, inscribed with the words "Huwei Water Source," has stood for over a century, and the clear water still flows continuously to supply the Tamsui area.
