Suncheon City Conducts Water Reservoir Cleaning to Ensure High-Quality Tap Water Supply

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) will conduct cleaning of the water supply pumping station reservoirs for 28 days starting May 15 to provide citizens with hygienic and clean tap water.

The first half-year cleaning of the pumping station reservoirs will begin on the 15th with the Jorye-dong Yeondong reservoir and continue until June 11, covering cleaning of 46 water supply reservoirs. This cleaning is conducted twice a year, in the first and second halves of the year.

The city plans to minimize citizen inconvenience by announcing water outage warnings in advance through village broadcasts and distribution of promotional materials in areas where water outages are expected to be unavoidable during the reservoir cleaning period.

Lee Jeong-su, head of the Waterworks Division of Suncheon City, said, “This is an unavoidable measure to supply clearer and cleaner tap water, so we ask for the understanding of citizens in the affected areas.” He added, “Although the water outage will be carried out during the time when tap water usage is lowest, households and businesses are requested to thoroughly prepare in advance by securing emergency water supplies.”

The city is also preparing emergency water supply vehicles (5 tons) and ‘Suncheonman Clean Water’ produced by Suncheon City to alleviate inconvenience for citizens who have not secured daily water supplies in advance.

If any water-related inconveniences such as red water occur during the water supply process after cleaning, citizens can report to the Suncheon City Waterworks Division (061-749-6563~6567) to receive assistance.
