Hwaseong-si to Implement Real-Name System for Wastewater Discharge

Recommendation to Install Wastewater Discharge Signage at Business Sites

Hwaseong City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 13th that it will promote a "Wastewater Discharge Real-Name System" by recommending the installation of wastewater discharge signs at local businesses.

The city explained that the system is being introduced to raise awareness among wastewater discharge sites, and to inform not only related officials and environmental pollution monitors but also the general public about wastewater discharge sites, thereby ensuring the proper operation and management of water pollution prevention facilities.

The recommendation period for the signs is until December, and the target businesses for installation recommendations are those discharging 20㎥ or more of wastewater per day. These businesses are advised to install signs at the main entrance of the site indicating the business name, discharge volume, industry type, and wastewater treatment methods.

After the recommendation period ends, environmental pollution monitors operating under the Environmental Guidance Division will continuously check the installation status and encourage more businesses to participate in installing the signs.

Lee Gang-seok, Director of the Water Quality Management Division of Hwaseong City, said, “We hope that the wastewater discharge real-name system being promoted this time will foster a sense of responsibility among businesses discharging wastewater and help prevent health and environmental hazards for Hwaseong citizens.”
