[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, is promoting an LPG appliance facility improvement project that replaces liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) hoses used in general households with safe metal piping.

The "Gas Facility Improvement Project for Low-Income Households," which replaces LPG rubber hoses with metal piping, was only supported for marginalized groups such as basic livelihood security recipients and near-poverty households until last year.

From this year, the project is being promoted as the "LPG Appliance Facility Improvement Project" targeting all households using LPG hoses in rural and fishing villages where city gas is not supplied.

Due to the revision of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Safety Management and Business Act, all LPG-using households are required to replace LPG hoses with metal piping by December 31, 2030. Accordingly, this metal piping support project for general LPG hose users will be carried out over 10 years until 2030.

This year's project budget is 40 million KRW, targeting 200 households. The support cost per household is set at a total of 250,000 KRW, including 230,000 KRW for facility improvement and 20,000 KRW for inspection fees, with residents bearing about 50,000 KRW of the cost.

The county is conducting a demand survey until April 5. Households wishing to apply can visit their local eup/myeon office to fill out the application form and consent form for personal information provision. Once the application and registration are completed, the facility improvement project will be carried out from May to November.
