Support for Excellent Projects in Local Water and Sewage Management Efficiency Improvement

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 18th that it has finalized the selection of seven ‘Local Water and Sewage Management Efficiency Excellence Projects’ that will contribute to providing residents with safe tap water through improvements in water and sewage services and enhancing efficiency through budget savings, and will support them with a total of 2 billion won in special grants.

The ‘Local Water and Sewage Management Efficiency Excellence Projects’ are initiatives implemented by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to improve the financial soundness of local water and sewage systems and enhance the quality of services such as clean and safe water supply.

This year, 30 projects were applied for by 25 local governments. After the first document screening and the second external expert presentation review, seven local governments were finally selected: Hongcheon-gun, Goseong-gun (Gangwon), Yeongdong-gun, Seocheon-gun, Namwon-si, Andong-si, and Goseong-gun (Gyeongnam).

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety plans to actively encourage the spread of these projects to other local governments by sharing best practices and expanding support based on project demand and outcomes. Kim Kwang-hwi, Regional Economic Support Officer, said, “We will do our best to eliminate disparities in water supply services between regions through the voluntary and creative project development of local governments for water and sewage management efficiency.”
