Volcanic and Gyeongcheon-myeon Rural Living Water Development Project Planned for Completion by Next Year

[Wanju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Han-ho] Wanju-gun announced on the 28th that it is accelerating efforts to quickly supply rural domestic water to Hwasan-myeon and Gyeongcheon-myeon.

According to the county, the rural domestic water development project for Hwasan and Gyeongcheon-myeon aims for completion in 2023, with a total project cost of 29 billion KRW (5 billion KRW national funds, 24 billion KRW local funds). The project involves installing one 600㎥ water storage tank in Hwasan-myeon, a total of 119 km of transmission and distribution pipelines (72 km in Hwasan, 47 km in Gyeongcheon), and 13 pumping stations.

Currently, about 6.2 billion KRW out of the 7.2 billion KRW project budget for this year is being concentrated in Hwasan to accelerate construction completion by next year.

The remaining budget is being invested in Gyeongcheon-myeon, where 3 km of water supply pipes have been laid, and local water supply is planned to be provided in the second half of this year.

Additionally, in villages where the water supply, service, and drainage branch pipelines in the Jong-ri area of Hwasan-myeon have been completed, water will be supplied to about 630 residents starting around May, before the completion of the Hwasan-myeon project.

Wanju-gun plans to complete the rural domestic water development project in Hwasan-myeon by next year, supplying local water to all 13 eup and myeon in Wanju-gun except Dongsang-myeon.
