[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Gyeongsan City announced on the 6th that it was selected as an excellent institution in the '2020 Local Water and Sewage Management Evaluation' hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

This evaluation was conducted from April to June last year. At that time, an evaluation team consisting of six professors and experts from various fields scored 24 directly managed water and sewage enterprises in Gyeongbuk Province (193 nationwide) through document review and on-site visits.

The evaluation consisted of 19 indicators across 7 categories: leadership/strategy, management system, major projects, management efficiency, customer satisfaction, job creation, and social responsibility.

Gyeongsan City was recognized for its efforts in improving the rate of realistic tariff adjustment and reducing total costs (each by more than 5%), not for tariff increases, and was selected as an excellent local water and sewage institution with a 'B' grade in management evaluation among 27 target institutions.

Oh Se-geun, Director of the Construction and Urban Safety Bureau, pledged, "We will supplement the shortcomings identified in this evaluation and take the lead in water quality preservation through the supply of clear and clean tap water and efficient sewage treatment."
