City Gas Supply to Begin in Yulmun-ri, Chuncheon Starting Next Year

[Asia Economy Reporter La Young-cheol] City gas will be supplied to the village of Yulmun-ri, Sinbuk-eup, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon Province.

Chuncheon City announced on the 23rd, "City gas supply facilities will be installed in Yulmun-ri village, Sinbuk-eup, where city gas had not been supplied due to lack of economic feasibility." The installation of city gas supply facilities will be promoted through private consignment to Gangwon City Gas Co., Ltd.

The project cost is 3 billion KRW, with 300 million KRW from the provincial government, 1.2 billion KRW from the city government, and 1.5 billion KRW from the city gas company. Once the construction is completed, city gas will be actively supplied to households around Yulmun-ri starting in 2021.

With the supply of city gas, residents of Yulmun-ri are expected to benefit greatly not only from reduced fuel costs but also from improved residential environments.

The city previously installed supply pipes from Janghak Intersection in front of Gangwon High School to the rear end of Soyang 5-gyo Bridge. Next year, the supply pipes will be extended from the rear end of Soyang 5-gyo Bridge to the Sinbuk-eup Administrative Welfare Center.

The city also plans to expand city gas supply to the areas around Cheonjeon-ri and Sancheon-ri.
