[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Metropolitan City Waterworks Headquarters announced on the 10th that it will supply tap water to the entire area of Muui-do, starting with Keunmuri Village in Jung-gu this month.

The Waterworks Headquarters has been promoting a local water supply facility construction project worth 7 billion KRW since the opening of the Muui Bridge in April last year.

As the first phase, construction was completed on a 5.7 km section out of the planned 14 km water pipeline on Muui-do by last month, and tap water supply is scheduled to begin this month for 130 households in Keunmuri Village and Silmi Amusement Park on Muui-do.

Additionally, in connection with the ongoing road development project, facility construction such as the construction of the Muui water reservoir will be carried out step-by-step to enable tap water supply to the entire Muui-do area by the end of next year.

Muui-do has relied on groundwater and transported water for drinking and domestic use, but due to the depletion of groundwater sources and the increase in tourists after the opening of Muui Bridge connecting it to the mainland, it is experiencing a severe water shortage.
