Jangseong-gun to Reduce 'Water Supply Charges' by 30% for Recipients Starting from the 17th

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do is making significant revisions to the water supply fees through amendments to the water supply ordinance.

According to the county on the 12th, the 30% discount on water supply fees, which had been applied only to exemplary food hygiene establishments, national merit recipients, and senior citizen centers, will be expanded to include basic livelihood security recipients and low-income residents.

The 2% penalty fee imposed for late payment of water bills will also be abolished.

The county will introduce a regulation allowing installment payments of water bills to expand residents' "water welfare" benefits.

The revised water supply fees are scheduled to take effect from the 17th.

Applications can be submitted in person at the relevant eup/myeon administrative welfare centers or the county's Clean Water Management Office with an ID card and water/sewerage bill.

The fee benefits will be applied starting from the month following the application date.

County Governor Yoo Doo-seok said, "Through the reduction of water supply fees, we aim to alleviate the hardships of our residents caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, even if only a little. We will continue to make efforts to reduce the burden of water fees while improving the quality of drinking water."
