[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Intern Reporter Lee Seryeong] Yeongju City, Gyeongbuk, completed this year's rural village unit LPG small storage tank supply project on the 16th.

Yeongju City held a completion ceremony for the LPG small storage tank supply project at the village halls of Yongsan 1-ri, Anjeong-myeon, and Dangok 1-ri, Dansan-myeon on the 17th, attended by residents, Mayor Jang Wook-hyun, local city and provincial council members, and officials from the construction company.

The LPG small storage tank supply project is a project supported by Yeongju City to enable villages where city gas supply is difficult to use LP gas cheaply and safely by installing small storage tanks, gas supply pipelines, boilers, and more.

Since 2015 until last year, the city invested a total budget of 4.2 billion KRW to carry out the project in 9 villages including Jigok 1-ri, Pyeongeun-myeon, covering 510 households.

This year, with an investment of 1.215 billion KRW, the old pipelines of 117 households in 2 villages that used heating with briquettes, small container LP gas, or oil were replaced with metal pipelines, and gas alarms and carbon monoxide detectors were installed.

Mayor Jang Wook-hyun said, "I am glad that the burden of heating costs has been reduced and that LP gas can be used conveniently and safely," adding, "We will strive to improve energy welfare through regular safety inspections and continuous project promotion."
