[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 7th that it is currently promoting the expansion of the Danseong Water Purification Plant and water supply expansion and intake works in 24 locations including Samjang District in Samjang-myeon and Ojeon District in Obu-myeon, with a project budget of 19.6 billion KRW this year.

This local water supply expansion project is a living infrastructure improvement initiative that has been carried out annually since 2018 to resolve water shortages in the region and enhance the convenience of water use for local residents.

Through this year's project, the county plans to complete the installation of 30 km of water pipelines in the first half of the year and install 40 km of water pipelines and 2 pumping stations in the second half.

The county expects that once the ongoing projects are completed, tap water can be stably supplied to all villages including Obu-myeon and Samjang-myeon.

This year, 4 billion KRW will be invested in village water supply maintenance to renovate and repair aging pipelines and water tanks installed in the 1970s and 1980s, and to newly establish village water supply systems to ensure stable water distribution.

A county official stated, “Since 2018 until this year, we have continuously promoted local water supply expansion projects with a total budget of 35 billion KRW,” and added, “We plan to further expand and promote local water supply expansion projects to stably supply clean water even to remote mountainous areas.”
