This year, new village water supply systems were established in Bakshil, Jeolgang-ri, Waryong-myeon, and Pyeondaegi Village, Jaepum-ri, Seohu-myeon, and old pipelines were replaced in Waundae, Gwidan-ri, Yean-myeon, Hansil, Daegok-ri, Gilan-myeon, and Seodanggol Village, Gisa-ri, Yean-myeon.

Next year, a new installation project will be promoted with a budget of 200 million KRW for 16 households in two villages: Munam, Dogok-ri, Waryong-myeon, and Jaegunggol, Mari, Imdong-myeon. In addition, by securing 200 million KRW in provincial funds, the water supply area will be expanded to Geumgok-ri (Singinam), Gilan-myeon, and Dochon-ri (Saemaeul), Yean-myeon, which are existing village water supply areas.

Along with this, a plan has been established to form and operate an emergency task force to prepare for sudden water supply interruptions caused by failures such as submersible motor pump breakdowns, pipeline leaks, and freezing. Preparations have been completed to stably supply tap water to rural areas.

An Andong City official stated, "We will continue to do our best to supply safe and clean water, actively working to alleviate the sense of alienation among residents of remote villages and improve their quality of life."
