Gochang-gun Provides Water Bill Discounts for Multi-Child Families, Single-Parent, and Grandparent-Grandchild Households

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Jaegil] Gochang-gun, Jeonbuk, is receiving great response for providing water bill discounts to families with multiple children and others.

According to the Gochang-gun Water and Sewage Office on the 15th, water bills are discounted for socially vulnerable groups in accordance with the water supply ordinance.

Exemplary personal service businesses receive a 30% discount on water bills, and livelihood and medical benefit recipients as well as single-parent and grandparent-headed families receive a 20% discount on usage fees.

Additionally, families with three or more minor children also receive a 20% discount on water usage fees.

Furthermore, since the second half of 2018, a water bill text message service has been implemented to notify users of water and sewage fees via mobile phone messages.

Instead of paper bills, users can receive text notifications about water bills, usage amounts, usage periods, and payment methods, and can receive a 1% discount on water bills.

Applications for water bill discounts can be made by bringing a discount application form and relevant supporting documents to the Water and Sewage Office management team or the general affairs team of the eup/myeon office.

Applications for water bill text notifications can be made by phone or visit to the Water and Sewage Office management team.

The head of the Gochang-gun Water and Sewage Office said, “Various practical systems have been established to reduce the burden on Gochang residents,” and added, “We hope for much interest and applications so that all eligible beneficiaries can receive the benefits.”
