[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongnam Province's inspection of hygiene management at water purification plants within the province found no larvae.

Gyeongnam Province announced on the 16th that from March 15 to April 12, a joint inspection was conducted at 51 water purification plants across the province by the Nakdong River and Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Offices, Basin Water Support Center, Gyeongnam Province, and city and county governments to supply clean tap water to residents.

Before the temperature rise, the entire water purification process was inspected for hygiene management and facility operation status to ensure the supply of safe tap water.

As a result, it was confirmed that no larvae were found at any water purification plant in the province.

Additionally, to fundamentally prevent tap water larvae incidents, the province plans to invest a total of 18.5 billion KRW this year in 10 cities and counties to promote projects improving hygiene management at water purification plants.

Furthermore, to proactively respond to algae outbreaks in the Nakdong River, the province plans to strengthen pre-inspections of facilities and algae response water management at the main Nakdong River intake and purification plants.

Jo Yongjeong, head of the Water Quality Management Division of Gyeongnam Province, stated, "We will do our best to supply clear and clean tap water by establishing a response system for tap water larvae occurrences and strengthening the operation management of water purification plants."
