[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Dong-guk] Ulsan City ranked first in Group 1 in the Ministry of Environment's '2022 Public Wastewater Treatment Facility Operation and Management Performance Evaluation.'

The Ministry of Environment conducted the '2022 Public Wastewater Treatment Facility Operation and Management Performance Evaluation' by dividing 227 public wastewater treatment facilities nationwide into three groups based on facility capacity (Group 1: 10,000㎥/day or more, Group 2: less than 10,000 to 2,000㎥/day, Group 3: less than 2,000㎥/day).

The city was selected as first place in Group 1 (23 local governments) with a facility capacity of 10,000㎥/day or more after the first and second evaluations.

Ulsan City was recognized for differentiated efforts and achievements compared to other local governments in areas such as ▲ operation of safety and health councils ▲ joint safety inspections ▲ facility and process improvements ▲ enhancement of treatment efficiency by process.

The city's public wastewater treatment facilities include two facilities: Yongam (facility capacity 85,000㎥/day) and KCC Ulsan·Bonggye General Industrial Complex (1,100㎥/day), which use advanced treatment methods to stably purify about 72,000㎥ of industrial complex factory wastewater per day.

In particular, the Yongam public wastewater treatment facility is also equipped with equipment that reuses treated wastewater as industrial water and supplies it back to companies.

Kim Mi-kyung, Director of the Environment Bureau, said, “We will continue to do our best to support corporate activities and create a clean urban environment through efficient and professional management of public wastewater treatment facilities in the Ulsan area.”

In August, Ulsan City also ranked first in the metropolitan sector in the '2022 Local Public Enterprise Sewerage Sector Management Evaluation' conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.
