[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 2nd that it will replace the aging water supply pipelines in the Namsa Village area with a project cost of 350 million won.

The replacement of the aging water supply pipelines in Namsa Village is being carried out as part of the "Local Water Supply Network Maintenance Project," which Sancheong-gun has been promoting from 2020 to 2022 with a project cost of 7.3 billion won.

According to the county, the project involves replacing 4.3 km of aging water supply pipelines in Sawol-ri, Danseong-myeon, and the Sangsa and Namsa villages in Namsa-ri. Along with the pipeline replacement, one water tank will be installed each in Namsa and Sangsa.

The ongoing replacement work of the aging water supply pipelines in Namsa Village is expected to be completed around November. Once the project is finished, it is anticipated that 58 households within Namsa Yedamchon will benefit.

A county official stated, "There may be water outages during the pipeline replacement process. We are conducting the work while avoiding peak usage times as much as possible to minimize inconvenience to residents," and added, "We will strive to resolve residents' inconveniences such as leaks and outages, and supply clean water to enhance the reliability of tap water."

Meanwhile, since 2018, Sancheong-gun has been promoting the "Local Water Supply Facility Expansion and Water Supply Area Extension Project" to improve residents' water welfare by resolving local water shortages and enhancing usage convenience. Upon completion of the water supply maintenance project, the water supply coverage rate is expected to improve to 98.3%, and the sewage treatment coverage rate to 92.1%.
