[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Gyeongsangnam-do has established and is implementing special measures to prepare for water supply accidents during the Chuseok holiday period.

Gyeongnam Province announced that from August 16 to 26, it conducted self-inspections of all major water supply facilities in the province and completed maintenance of any insufficient facilities.

To minimize restoration time caused by parts supply and other issues in the event of a water supply accident, key equipment such as mobile repair devices and water meters have also been secured.

Gyeongnam Province and each city and county plan to operate a water supply countermeasure situation room and mobile repair teams during the Chuseok holiday period to enable emergency restoration in case of accidents, minimizing inconvenience to residents.

Lee Jaegi, Director of Water Quality Management Division, said, “We will thoroughly inspect facilities so that residents can enjoy the holiday with their families and relatives, and focus on on-duty work for prompt response in case of water supply accidents.” He added, “Since it is important to handle water supply accidents early, please report quickly to the water supply department or duty office of each city and county when an accident occurs.”
