[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The public-private joint water quality inspection team of the Waterworks Office in Changwon City, Gyeongnam, has begun testing the water quality of tap water named Cheongasu.


Cheongasu means crystal clear and pure tap water, representing Changwon City's commitment to providing citizens with the highest quality tap water so they can drink it with confidence.


The public-private joint water quality inspection team consists of two ordinary citizen tap water evaluation committee members and two staff members from the Water Quality Research Center, and has been active since 2018.


Every month, they collect samples from the Chilseo Water Purification Plant in Haman County, and the Daesan and Seokdong Water Purification Plants in Changwon City, directly participating in the water quality testing process and announcing the results on the Changwon City website and daily newspapers.


During the quarterly water quality inspections at the Chilseo Water Purification Plant, the tap water evaluation committee members participate to thoroughly examine the water quality from the purification plant to each household faucet.


The Changwon City Water Quality Research Center has been recognized as a Laboratory of Excellence for seven consecutive years in international proficiency tests conducted among analytical institutions worldwide, and is responsible for water quality testing of Changwon City's tap water using internationally certified analytical techniques.


Chairman Choi Yongbong of the Tap Water Evaluation Committee said, “I will participate in tap water sampling on behalf of citizens and take the lead in supplying clean tap water.”



Kim Sangwoon, Director of the Waterworks Office, stated, “In addition to the public-private joint water quality inspections, we will manage water quality through various methods such as monitoring the quality of aging pipes and inspecting all items at faucets,” adding, “We will focus on alleviating concerns about drinking water and securing safety and reliability.”
