Gimhae City Supports Installation of Shared Water Supply Pipelines in Underserved Areas

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced on the 30th that it will invest 500 million won in a water supply pipeline support project for 10 underserved areas in the water supply network.

This project targets small-scale densely populated residential areas where three or more households are gathered within the water supply area, but the water supply pipelines are too far away, causing a heavy burden when connecting individual water supply lines. The project aims to reduce the burden on consumers by installing shared water supply pipelines.

Vulnerable areas in need of the project can apply to the city hall's Waterworks Division, and the project sites will be selected based on urgency. The project will be carried out year-round until the budget is exhausted.

Through this, the city plans to increase the water supply coverage rate from the current 98.5% to 99% by 2022.

Je Jong-su, head of the Waterworks Division, said, “We will realize water welfare for citizens by increasing the water supply coverage rate through the water supply pipeline support project for vulnerable areas.”
