Yongin to Promote Municipal Water Supply to Village-Level Water Facilities

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City announced on the 17th that it will promote a "municipal water supply expansion project" to provide municipal water to four villages in Cheoin-gu.

The municipal water supply expansion project aims for completion in December next year and will install municipal water pipelines across a total project section of 8.4 km in Jungri and Hu-dong villages in Wonsam-myeon and Gagok and Naechang villages in Baekam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, with a total project cost of 3.3 billion won.

The four villages in Cheoin-gu have relied on small-scale water supply facilities managed by the city to use groundwater, and have experienced significant inconveniences due to water quality degradation and water shortages during droughts.

In response, the city is promoting this project to alleviate residents' inconveniences, and upon completion of the construction, a total of 134 households in the four villages are expected to receive municipal water supply.

Furthermore, once the project is completed, all village-level water supply facilities throughout Yongin will be converted to municipal water supply.

A city official stated, "With the completion of this project, all villages in the Yongin area will be supplied with municipal water," and added, "We will do our best to supply clean tap water that residents can drink with confidence."
