Currently, the reservoir rate of Juam Dam, the water source for Mokpo City, is about 20.6%, indicating a 'severe stage' of drought lasting over 200 days. If the drought continues, there are concerns about inconveniences in citizens' daily lives, such as water supply restrictions.

Accordingly, to overcome the prolonged drought, the city conducted a street campaign on the 3rd from Mokpo Intercity Bus Terminal to the Sangdong Administrative Welfare Center area, encouraging citizens to practice 20% water savings in their daily lives.

In addition, the city is promoting a policy that provides practical fee reduction benefits to water-saving users.

The city plans to revise the 'Mokpo City Water Supply Ordinance' in March and temporarily implement fee reductions starting from the April water bill based on the actual water usage in March.

The reduction rate will be 10% off the water supply fee if usage is reduced by 10% or more compared to the same month of the previous year. However, if the usage for the month is zero or there are reasons such as moving settlement or indoor leaks, the user will be excluded from the reduction.

A city official said, "We expect that this campaign and the water bill reduction benefits will serve as a driving force for practicing water conservation and contribute to overcoming the drought," and asked for active participation from citizens.
