Yeongsangang Cheong, Intensive Inspection of Water Quality Safety Management for Water Play-Type Aquatic Facilities

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office announced that it will conduct a joint inspection with local governments such as Gwangju Metropolitan City on the water quality safety management of water play-type water facilities during July and August.

This inspection will focus on 30 facilities selected from 133 water facilities in the Gwangju and Jeonnam areas, including those that have received administrative dispositions or corrective orders in the past three years, facilities above a certain size (floor area of 100 m2 or more), and newly registered facilities.

The inspection will primarily focus on compliance with facility management standards such as conducting water quality tests during the operation period, maintaining water quality standards, keeping the water depth of water facilities at 30cm or less, cleaning and replacing water in the retention tank at least once a week, passing water through a filter at least once a day, installing disinfection facilities or adding sterilizing/disinfecting agents, and installing notice boards regarding user precautions.

In addition, if water quality standards or management standards are violated or water quality tests are not conducted, administrative measures such as suspending facility openings and imposing fines will be taken.

Kim Seung-hee, head of the Yeongsan River Basin Environmental Office, stated, “Through focused inspections on the water quality safety management of water play-type water facilities in the jurisdiction, we will do our best to create safe water play spaces for children during the summer and strengthen the protection of public health.”
