Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will begin construction of a 'Water Reuse Facility' (reclaimed water system) at the Ground Operations Command located in Cheoin-gu starting on the 26th.

Yongin City announced that the reclaimed water system installation is being carried out according to a business agreement made in 2021 with the Ground Operations Command to prevent emergency situations such as water shortages caused by issues like water outages.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will invest a total of 1.719 billion KRW to install a reclaimed water facility capable of processing 53 tons per day within the Ground Operations Command by the end of this year.

The facility will be transferred free of charge to the Ground Operations Command for 15 years after completion, during which the Ground Operations Command will be responsible for its operation and management.

Yongin City is applying the 'MBLM' method for wastewater and sewage treatment reuse in the construction. This method is a cutting-edge technique that generates micro-sized ozone (O3) bubbles to purify water, removing trace pollutants and odor-causing substances, and sterilizing E. coli.

Once the facility installation is complete, domestic water generated within the base will not be sent directly to the sewage treatment plant but will be purified and reused at the 'Water Reuse Facility.' The purified water will be used for cleaning, toilet water, landscaping irrigation, washing, and sprinkling purposes. It will not be used as drinking water.

A Yongin City official stated, "The reclaimed water system installed with the support of Yongin Special City is one of the policies leading South Korea's green growth and will help improve social awareness of water reuse. It is expected to improve the water circulation system by treating miscellaneous water within the military facility and also secure water resources."
