Goheung-gun Holds Water Supply Ceremony for Sang and Hahwado Islands in the Archipelago

Clean and Clear Water Supply, Early Completion of Udo and Deukryangdo

[Goheung=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shim Jeong-woo] Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it has completed the pipeline construction for water supply on Sanghwa Island and Hahwa Island, known as Flower Islands, located in Doyang-eup, and held a tap water completion (water supply) ceremony with residents on the 26th.

Until now, Sanghwa Island and Hahwa Island have always faced water shortage problems as wells were used for drinking and domestic water, and during dry seasons, water sources were depleted or seawater intrusion occurred, creating very harsh conditions.

Accordingly, Goheung-gun promoted the Island Area Drinking Water Source Development Project to improve the quality of life for residents of island areas including Sanghwa Island and Hahwa Island, and with the completion of the "Sanghwa and Hahwa Island Area Drinking Water Source Development Project" on this day, safe and clean tap water can finally be supplied to island residents.

The Doyang Sanghwa and Hahwa Island Area Drinking Water Source Development Project invested a total of 8.148 billion KRW to install 5.49 km of pipelines and one water storage facility, and the 2.6 km section connecting the marine area was constructed using an underwater pipeline installation method to stably supply tap water.

Song Gwi-geun, Goheung County Governor, said, "I am very pleased that the severe water shortage problem of residents on Sanghwa and Hahwa Islands, who have depended on groundwater or wells, has been resolved and that it can contribute to residents' health and hygiene. We will do our best to create an environment where island residents do not worry about water by not only completing Sanghwa and Hahwa Islands but also expediting the ongoing Namyang Udo and Deukryangdo Island Drinking Water Source Development Projects."
