Yongin City Conducts Emergency Inspection of Water Facilities, Finds No Abnormalities

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province conducted an emergency inspection on the 16th of five water supply facilities in the Cheoin area, including Yongin Water Purification Plant and the Yurim, Namsa, Yongin, and Pyeongchang water storage tanks.

The city announced that there were no abnormalities found during the inspection and that citizens can use tap water with confidence.

Following the recent discovery of larvae in tap water in some local governments such as Incheon City, the city conducted an emergency inspection of facilities such as water purification plants and water storage tanks to ensure tap water safety.

On that day, the city focused on inspecting the cleanliness inside and outside of the five water purification plants and water storage tanks, as well as the possibility of pest intrusion through windows and doors.

Additionally, indoor lighting facilities will be used flexibly at night to block pest intrusion.

On the 17th, the city plans to inspect eight water storage tanks in the Suji and Giheung districts and conduct a full disinfection of the Yongin Water Purification Plant in cooperation with the Cheoin District Public Health Center.

A city official stated, "Yongin City cleans the filtration beds every 2 to 3 days, so the possibility of larvae breeding is almost none."

The city plans to frequently check for any abnormalities in water quality and strengthen inspections and monitoring of each facility so that citizens can use tap water with peace of mind.

In addition, a mobile water quality inspection team operates to visit households upon citizens' requests and provide accurate information about tap water quality.
