Incheon City Expands Sewerage Fee Reduction from Families with 3 Children to Those with 2 Children

Incheon City announced on the 2nd that starting from the January meter reading (February billing), sewerage fees for households with two children under the age of 18 will be discounted.

The criteria for sewerage fee discounts for multi-child households previously applied to those with three or more children under 18, but from this year, it has been expanded to households with two or more children. As a result, approximately 112,100 additional households are now eligible for the discount, bringing the total number of households receiving sewerage fee reductions to about 131,700 this year.

Households with three or more children receive a 20% discount on sewerage fees, while those with two children receive a 10% discount. Eligible households can apply by visiting their local administrative welfare center with an ID card or online through the Incheon City Waterworks Headquarters Cyber Civil Service Center.

An official from Incheon City stated, "Although the sewerage fee discount is not a significant financial benefit, it will help reduce the child-rearing burden for multi-child families."

Meanwhile, based on residential usage, the unit price for Incheon City sewerage fees per cubic meter is 410 KRW for 1?10 (㎥/month), 670 KRW for 11?20 (㎥/month), and 1,030 KRW for 21 (㎥/month) or more.
