The city announced on the 10th that it was selected as an excellent institution by receiving high scores in evaluations of waterworks operation and management, management improvement, and service status.

In particular, it received excellent evaluations for implementing support measures to overcome the COVID-19 crisis, such as reducing water charges for all citizens, including small business owners affected by COVID-19.

The local public enterprise management evaluation is a system established by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to select institutions with excellent management performance and provide financial incentives to motivate sound financial maintenance of local public enterprises.

Last year, the 2021 Local Public Enterprise Management Evaluation was conducted through written and on-site evaluations by an evaluation team on three indicators?sustainable management, management performance, and social value?targeting 113 basic local government waterworks public enterprises nationwide.

A city official said, “We will further enhance management efficiency through professional management of Jeongeup City’s local waterworks public enterprise,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to supply safe and clean tap water that citizens can drink with confidence.”
