[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon City announced on the 17th that the operation of Bupyeong 3 Water Purification Plant will be suspended from 10 a.m. on the 25th to noon on the 27th due to valve replacement work.

Accordingly, some high-altitude areas such as Cheongcheon 1-dong, Sanggok 1-dong, and Sipjeong 1-dong in Bupyeong-gu are expected to experience water outages or reduced water flow due to decreased water pressure during peak usage times.

Other areas will receive normal tap water supply without outages.

However, temporary occurrence of rust-colored water may happen, so households are advised to sufficiently flush the water if rust-colored water appears, and if the occurrence persists, report it to the Michuhol Call Center (dial 120 without area code) or the relevant waterworks office.

The city stated that the operation had to be suspended due to the valve replacement work at Bupyeong 3 Water Purification Plant to ensure stable tap water supply.

The city's Waterworks Headquarters plans to deploy about 220 employees to minimize citizen inconvenience by performing stepwise water system switching (a method of changing water flow to supply tap water from another purification plant to the outage area), alternatively supplying tap water from Namdong and Susan Water Purification Plants, and securing the maximum water level in the reservoirs to ensure uninterrupted water supply.

Bupyeong Water Purification Plant supplies tap water to Bupyeong-gu, Gyeyang-gu, Michuhol-gu Jooan 5 and 6-dong, and some areas of Ganseok 4-dong in Namdong-gu.
