Hwasun-gun Cleans 115 Water Tanks Including Village Water Supply Systems

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeollanam-do Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 28th that it will carry out water tank cleaning for village waterworks and small-scale water supply facilities to provide clean and hygienic domestic water to residents.

The water tank cleaning will be conducted for one month starting from the 3rd of next month.

The targets are a total of 115 locations, including 49 village waterworks such as Sumun 1-ri Suchon Village in Hwasun-eup and 66 small-scale water supply facilities such as Da-gok-ri Ungok Village in Baek-a-myeon.

Originally, the management responsibility of these facilities lies with the village residents, and maintenance such as water tank cleaning should also be carried out independently; however, due to recent population decline and aging in rural areas, self-management has become difficult.

The county plans to request a professional water tank cleaning company to carry out the cleaning in order to prevent drinking water accidents caused by neglect and minimize inconvenience to residents.

A county official said, “To prevent waterborne infectious diseases and improve the quality of life for residents, we plan to regularly remove surrounding contaminants and conduct cleaning and disinfection,” adding, “We will conduct another round in the second half of the year to ensure residents can drink tap water with greater peace of mind.”
