Disaster, Safety Management, Financial Performance, and High Scores in Water Supply Coverage Rate

Gumi City in Gyeongbuk was selected as an excellent institution in the water supply sector for the first time in six years in the local public enterprise management evaluation conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety this year.

The local public enterprise management evaluation is a system that evaluates the management and performance of 279 local public enterprises nationwide (70 corporations, 87 foundations, 122 water supply) from the previous year into five grades.

The city received an excellent grade in the biennial water supply evaluation for the first time since 2017. In particular, it received high scores in disaster and safety management, financial performance, and water supply coverage rate.

To provide high-quality public services to citizens, the city promoted ▲ the installation project of advanced water treatment facilities at Gumi Water Purification Plant ▲ the establishment project of a remote management system for water supply facilities ▲ the replacement project of aging water pipes, and next year, it plans to specifically implement ▲ water supply fee discounts for multi-child households (three or more children, 5,100 KRW per month).

An Jin-hee, head of the Water and Sewage Business Office, said, “As a result of the efforts of all employees to pursue management efficiency and improve financial soundness, we were selected as an excellent institution in this evaluation. We will continue to focus our capabilities to supply clean and safe water that satisfies citizens.”
