Yongin-si Supports Improvement of Septic Tank Facilities in Water Quality Conservation Areas

Up to 8 Million KRW for Consumable Replacement and More
for Small-Scale Private Sewage Treatment Facilities

Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 4th that it will additionally recruit applicants wishing to receive support for improvement costs of small-scale private sewage treatment facilities (septic tanks) until the 13th.

Private sewage treatment facilities are installations that purify and discharge feces and domestic wastewater generated from detached houses or facilities. Buildings generating domestic wastewater are required to install private sewage treatment facilities according to the Sewerage Act, and owners must use the facilities in compliance with management standards.

The support targets are wastewater treatment facilities with a daily treatment capacity of less than 50㎥ located in the special water quality conservation areas designated around Paldang Lake, including Mapyeong, Unhak, Haegok, Yubang, Gimnyangjang, Samga, Yeokbuk, Ho, Namdong in Cheoin-gu, as well as Mohyeon-eup, Yangji-myeon, and Pogok-eup.

If selected as a support recipient, up to 80% of costs such as consumable replacement and labor expenses can be supported within a limit of 8 million KRW.

Previously, the city selected applicants for 11 facilities through the first recruitment in June, and now it has newly allocated a budget of 60 million KRW to recruit additional support recipients.

Applicants can download the facility improvement cost support application form from the Yongin City website and submit it either by visiting the Sewerage Business Office's Sewage Facilities Division in person or by mail.
