Uiwang City Promotes 'Green-Rust-Free Water Pipe Improvement Project for Our Homes'

[Suwon Ilbo=Kim Chung-young reporter] Uiwang City is promoting the 'Green-Rust-Free Water Pipe Improvement Project for Our Homes' by investing 50 million won in budget this year.

The 'Green-Rust-Free Water Pipe Improvement Project for Our Homes' is an initiative to supply healthy and clean tap water to Uiwang City residents who have experienced inconvenience due to green rust from corroded water supply pipes in aged residential buildings.

The support targets are multi-unit and single-family homes aged 20 years or older among which the area affected by green rust is 130㎡ or less, and provides construction cost support for replacement of indoor water supply equipment (indoor water supply pipes and common plumbing).

The support amount varies based on the area of each household. Construction costs are supported up to 1.8 million won for indoor water supply pipes and up to 600,000 won for common plumbing. However, residences owned by basic livelihood guarantee recipients and those in the second-lowest income bracket receive full construction cost coverage.

However, residences that have received project approval and authorization for redevelopment, reconstruction, or remodeling, or residences that received support for improvement within the past 5 years are excluded.

The application period runs from March to November, and applications may close early if the budget is depleted within the period. To apply, visit the Uiwang City Hall Water and Sewerage Division with documents including the application form posted on the Uiwang City Hall website.
