Incheon City Conducts Water Quality Tests on 53 Items of Distributed Drinking Water

Incheon City announced that it will collect and inspect drinking spring water distributed within the region until the 31st to eradicate the distribution and sale of non-compliant products.

The city plans to randomly purchase all drinking spring water displayed in large stores and wholesale/retail shops to inspect compliance with labeling standards and the appropriateness of expiration dates. Additionally, it will request a water quality test of 53 items from the Health and Environment Research Institute under the city.

If any products deemed unsuitable for distribution are found as a result of the inspection, they will be recalled and discarded, and the relevant county or district overseeing the manufacturer will be notified for administrative action.

In inspections conducted last year and in the first quarter of this year, all 123 products met the drinking water quality standards.

An official from Incheon City stated, "We will conduct thorough water quality inspections regularly (quarterly) to ensure that citizens can safely drink spring water."
