Yeosu City Conducts Special Inspection of Private Sewage Treatment Facilities in Dolsan and Hwayang Districts
Management of Large-Scale Sewage Treatment Facilities Due to the Increase of Accommodation Facilities in Tourism Development Areas
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced on the 5th that it will conduct a special inspection of large-scale wastewater treatment facilities due to the recent increase in accommodation facilities in the tourist development areas of Dolsan and Hwayang districts.
According to the city, in preparation for the peak tourist season when many tourists visit, the city will strengthen guidance and inspection of the management status of wastewater treatment facilities in the Dolsan and Hwayang districts to prevent marine water pollution in areas such as Gamak Bay.
There are approximately 1,100 registered wastewater treatment facilities in Yeosu City's Dolsan and Hwayang districts.
The city will organize inspection teams of two people and conduct sequential inspections by scale on wastewater treatment facilities with a capacity of 20㎥ or more, including accommodation facilities and cafes, until the end of next month.
The inspection will focus on whether the wastewater treatment facilities are operating normally, the status of operation management, and compliance with discharge water quality standards.
Minor issues will be corrected on-site through guidance, while businesses violating laws such as non-operation of treatment facilities and violation of discharge water quality standards will be subject to prosecution and fines.

A city official stated, “In the case of private sewage treatment facilities, internal cleaning must be carried out at least once a year, and discharge water must also be self-monitored for water quality at intervals determined by the facility size. Owners have the responsibility to properly manage and operate these facilities,” adding, “We will continue to conduct ongoing education, guidance, and inspections to prevent environmental pollution.”
