Gwanggyo Mountain Munammgol No. 2 Spring Water Facility to Close from Next Month's 17th

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Jangan-gu announced that it will close the Munammgol No. 2 spring water facility located on Gwanggyo Mountain starting from the 17th of next month, as water quality inspections have consistently resulted in a determination that it is unfit for consumption.

The district conducted water quality inspections and facility maintenance at least once a month for the Munammgol No. 2 spring water facility in accordance with the 'Management Guidelines for Community Drinking Water Facilities.'

However, the facility exceeded water quality standards more than six times a year in microbial items such as total coliform bacteria and aesthetic substances such as turbidity and color, resulting in repeated determinations that the water is unfit for consumption, leading to the closure decision.

Given the nature of the facility where water continuously flows, immediate closure is not possible. As the district must inform citizens, it has decided to focus on announcing the closure during a one-month period from the 17th of this month through the 16th of next month.

After the closure date, the spring water facility will be excluded from management targets, and removal of facilities such as drinking water pipes, water quality test result postings, and drinking cups will also take place.

The district plans to post a banner at the entrance to Munammgol announcing the closure of the spring water facility and guide residents to use the nearby Munammgol No. 1 spring water facility and Baeknyeon-su spring water facility.

A district official stated, "Going forward, we will continue to conduct facility management and water quality inspections for the 16 spring water facilities within the district to ensure that citizens can use the spring water facilities safely and comfortably."
