According to the data, in the early 20th century, the drinking water of Kunming citizens was mainly well water, supplemented by river water. In addition to private dams and wells, there is also a "clear spring industry" in the market, which makes a living by raising and selling water. Until August of 19 17, the first waterworks in Kunming was built, which opened a new chapter for citizens to drink water.

According to the staff of the museum, in 19 12, Shilongba Hydropower Station, the first hydropower station in the history of China, was completed and put into operation, and power was sent to Kunming one after another, and Kunming entered a period of "great development". 19 15, a group of enlightened gentlemen, such as Huang Yucheng, proposed "seeking the health of urbanites and social fire safety" and "drinking again, benefiting health and facilitating people" and initiated the establishment of a waterworks. This suggestion was quickly approved by Tang, who sent people to study in Haiphong, Vietnam and Hanoi waterworks. Finally, Daiar, an engineer of the French coastal defense machinery construction company, is responsible for the construction of the whole water plant project, using Siemens equipment.

The water plant is located at the western foot of Wuhua Mountain (east of Huashan West Road now), and was officially opened on May 2, 2008 1965438, with a daily water supply of 1034 cubic meters. The water fee is measured by the "water meter system", and the water price per cubic meter is 7 cents, 3 cents and 5 cents, which is equivalent to about 3 kilograms of rice.
