[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] According to Chungbuk Province on the 27th, 15 reports have been received since the 19th regarding the discovery of larvae related to tap water within the province.


As a result of on-site inspections by environmental authorities, 5 cases were confirmed to be moth fly larvae. Environmental authorities explained that moth fly larvae come from external sources and can be found if the hygiene conditions of places such as bathrooms or drains are poor.


The remaining 10 cases could not confirm the presence of larvae. Environmental authorities checked related water purification plants and found no abnormalities, concluding that these cases were unrelated to tap water.



Chungbuk Province recommended that the cleaning of water storage tanks in apartment complexes, which is set twice a year, be conducted at least once every two months, and decided to consider the introduction of tap water ISO 22000 (International Food Safety Management System).
