[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Urban Construction Committee of Gimhae City Council in Gyeongnam visited Samgye Water Purification Plant and Changam Intake Pump Station on the 19th to inspect the facilities.

On this day, the committee conducted the inspection anticipating an increased possibility of green algae and larvae occurrence due to the recent rise in temperature, aiming to establish countermeasures, check response status, and ensure the safety of tap water.

The attending members first visited Samgye Water Purification Plant, received a report on the operation status of facilities and countermeasures against larvae occurrence in tap water, and inspected the overall water purification process facilities such as sedimentation basins and filtration basins.

A field official explained, “To prevent larvae such as chironomids from occurring, we have strengthened water purification process management by increasing the monitoring frequency from once a day to twice a day and raising the ozone injection rate.”

Afterwards, the committee members visited Changam Intake Pump Station located in Saengnim-myeon to check the management status of the intake pump station and riverbank filtration water facilities and to examine the response to green algae.

Chairman An said, “I hope the intake and water purification plants are thoroughly managed so that citizens can trust and drink clean tap water.”
