Paldal District Sends Out Septic Tank Cleaning Notices

Paldal District announced on the 2nd that it plans to send out septic tank and wastewater treatment facility cleaning notices to 7,600 households as part of its annual initiative.

The district guides residents to conduct mandatory internal cleaning of septic tanks and wastewater treatment facilities at least once a year in accordance with the Sewerage Act.

The district also urged residents to participate in the construction of an environmentally-friendly and healthy Suwon by preventing soil and groundwater contamination in advance through septic tank cleaning and securing clean groundwater resources.

There are 40 septic tank cleaning contractors operating in Suwon with no regional restrictions by district. The cleaning fee is set at 14 won per liter (14,000 won per ton) with no basic charge.

A district official said, "For households where the safety net (mosquito screen) on the septic tank ventilation fan is damaged or not installed, it is advisable to install a safety net to minimize damage from flies and mosquitoes."
