A high-pressure water cannon truck is spraying water to wash away dust on the road.

The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province is partnering with four district offices and three private construction companies to operate high-pressure water trucks that reduce fine dust and heatwaves on the roads.

On the 16th, Suwon City announced that it will operate high-pressure water trucks together with private construction companies to remove fine dust accumulated from vehicle exhaust and tire wear on the roads, and to cool down roads heated during the heatwave season.

Accordingly, HDC Hyundai Development Company, Daewoo Construction, and Namkwang Construction will extend the operation range of water trucks up to 1.5 km around six construction sites ? Suwon I-Park City Complex 11, Suwon I-Park City Complex 12, Mangpo A1 Block Apartment Construction, Mangpo A2 Block Apartment Construction, Daeyupyeong District Block 2 Mixed-use Complex, and Woncheon-dong Knowledge Industry Center ? and operate them until August 31.

Separately, Suwon City and the four district offices will operate 18 units of 24-ton high-pressure water trucks on 80 major roads covering 360 km within the jurisdiction until November 30.

The water required for operating the high-pressure water trucks will be supplied from sewage treatment plants, Gwanggyo rainwater storage tanks, and Samsung Electronics through reclaimed water pipelines.

A Suwon City official stated, "Private construction companies have agreed to extend the existing high-pressure water truck operation distance by up to 1.5 km to participate in heatwave response," adding, "We will alleviate the urban heat island effect with the water trucks to create a comfortable urban environment."
