[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Jeon Chan-geol) announced on the 11th that it will supply the local waterworks to 11 village water supply areas in the county, which have been using valley water and groundwater as domestic water, in the first half of this year.

Once the ongoing replacement project of old pipes in Giyang 1-ri and Haenggok 3-ri villages is completed, 778 households and 1,300 people in three villages in Buk-myeon (Nagok 3-ri, Nagok 4-ri, Gomok 3-ri), three villages in Geunnam-myeon (Jinbok 2-ri, Susan-ri, Haenggok 3-ri), three villages in Maehwa-myeon (Giyang 1-ri, Sinheung 2-ri, Galmyeon-ri), and two villages in Giseong-myeon (Sadong 1-ri, Bangyul-ri) will be able to receive clean tap water.

Previously, consultations were held with the village water supply managers and village chiefs regarding the new local waterworks supply application and payment of the cause-burden charge. Along with the replacement of old pipes in the villages, new water meters will be installed, and the local waterworks supply will be promoted sequentially, ultimately abolishing the designation of village waterworks.

Jeon Chan-geol, Governor of Uljin-gun, stated, "We expect that by stably supplying systematically managed clean tap water to local residents who have experienced inconvenience in using domestic water, it will greatly contribute to improving public hygiene and living environment."
