Uiwang City to Launch Dedicated Homepage for Water and Sewerage Bill Payments Starting Next Month

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Uiwang City announced on the 12th that it will complete construction of a dedicated homepage for water and sewerage bill payments (https://waterpay.uiwang.go.kr) by mid-this month, conduct a pilot operation period, and then begin full operation starting next month.

Going forward, customers will be able to handle tasks such as real-time bill inquiries, moving settlement, automatic transfers, and email bill statement registration directly from their homes.

Additionally, water and sewerage bill payment procedures by card, which had only been available through Wetax, financial institutions, or phone, as well as automatic payment application and cancellation procedures will become more convenient.

Moving settlement will also allow for real-time immediate payment upon self-inspection of the water meter and entry of the unique customer account number or electronic authentication number.

With the system implementation, automatic payments, which had only been possible through virtual accounts, will expand to include credit card automatic payments. This is expected to resolve issues of missed payments due to lost bills and improve the inconvenience experienced by citizens who had to pay monthly by credit card.

However, for multi-family residences or apartment complexes, while overall details can be confirmed, unit-by-unit billing settlement must still be processed through the apartment management office as before.

Uiwang City's water and sewerage billing system is available through general search portals, the Uiwang City website, and mobile devices.

Yun Chang-ho, director of the Water and Sewerage Business Division, said, "We will improve water administration services to establish ourselves as a public enterprise trusted by citizens, and will do our best to supply clean water that citizens can drink with confidence."
