[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will supply tap water to 12 locations where it has not been provided until now by December.

The target areas are Sikgeum-ri in Yangji-myeon, Cheoin-gu; Goan-ri in Baegam-myeon; Duchang-ri in Wonsam-myeon; Myobong-ri and Simiri in Idong-eup; Wangsang-ri and Dongnim-ri in Mohyeon-eup; Geumeo-ri in Pogok-eup; Hagal-dong, Gongse-dong, and Dongbaek-dong in Giheung-gu; and Sanghyeon-dong in Suji-gu.

Most of these areas are rural or rural-urban border regions. Until now, residents of these villages have used village water supply facilities or groundwater due to the absence of local tap water supply.

However, they have experienced inconveniences such as water quality deterioration and water shortages during droughts.

Accordingly, Yongin City is investing 1.5 billion KRW of city funds to carry out construction so that residents in these areas can use clean tap water.

Last month, the installation of 1.6 km of tap water distribution pipelines was completed in seven villages including Hagal-dong and Gongse-dong in Giheung-gu, Dongnim-ri in Mohyeon-eup, Myobong-ri in Idong-eup, Duchang-ri in Wonsam-myeon, Sikgeum-ri in Yangji-myeon, and Goan-ri in Baegam-myeon.

By December, 2.29 km of tap water distribution pipelines will be installed in five locations including Geumeo-ri in Pogok-eup.

A city official stated, "Through this tap water supply, residents who have suffered from groundwater depletion and drought will be able to use clean and safe tap water," adding, "We will continue to spare no effort to support all citizens in using strictly managed tap water."
