Yongin City Launches Registration and Inquiry Service for Reservoir Maintenance Records

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Yongin City announced on the 2nd that it has launched an online service starting from the 1st that allows users to enter and inquire about the maintenance status of reservoirs and in-building water supply pipes on the Water Supply Office website.

The service aims to enhance management transparency by allowing building owners and managers to conveniently input tap water maintenance results, and enabling citizens to view the sanitation status of buildings' tap water.

Through this service, building owners and managers can now directly register reservoir maintenance results on the website, rather than submitting handwritten documents as before.

Citizens can check water quality results and other information for a building by entering its address in the inquiry system.

To implement this, the city began preparing the online input system from last year, conducted a test run last month, and formally began operating the system on the 1st.

The city expects that the launch of the online service will resolve inconveniences for approximately 1,700 facility and building managers in the city and efficiently manage over 4,000 annual handwritten reports.

A city official stated, "By strengthening the management and supervision of drinking water, we will enhance the reliability of tap water and be able to supply safer and cleaner drinking water."

Meanwhile, the current Water Supply Act requires building owners and managers of structures of a certain scale or larger, depending on usage, to regularly undergo reservoir cleaning, water quality testing, and manager training to ensure safe tap water management.

Owners who fail to implement sanitation measures are subject to imprisonment of up to two years or a fine of up to 20 million won.
