Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Wono) is introducing a 'Drinking Water Monitoring System' that systematically manages the water quality of multi-family housing by signing a business agreement with innovative local companies.

On the 24th, the district signed a business agreement with The Wave Talk, one of Seongdong-gu's startup companies, for water quality management in multi-family housing. Accordingly, by September, a total of about 500 water quality measuring devices, an innovative procurement product, will be installed in 147 apartment complexes in Seongdong-gu to continuously manage the water quality of underground reservoirs in apartments and welfare facilities such as senior centers. In addition, devices will be lent to residents so that they can also measure the water quality of tap water or water from water purifiers at home.

The previous method of water quality testing, which involved collecting samples and testing them in a laboratory, took about 20 days, making immediate response difficult. However, the water quality measuring devices being distributed this time can check drinkability in real time.

The 'Drinking Water Monitoring System' consists of portable water quality measuring devices, a water quality measurement mobile app, and a monitoring system that local governments can integrate and control. Residents can check water quality levels in real time through the devices and app, and take measures such as stopping drinking water if problems occur. The measured data is immediately transmitted to the server, allowing follow-up actions such as detailed water quality tests. Additionally, the collected water quality data will be used as various policy materials in the future, such as prioritizing the replacement of aging water pipes.

Jeong Wono, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, said, “I am pleased that Seongdong-gu residents can check the quality of their drinking water and drink it with peace of mind,” and added, “We will continue to collaborate with innovative companies and utilize smart technology to enhance residents' convenience.”
