Seongnam Bokjeong Water Purification Plant Advanced Treatment and Improvement Project Completed... Completion Ceremony on the 27th

Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province has completed the installation of an advanced water treatment facility and renovation work at Bokjeong Water Purification Plant (Bokjeong-dong, Sujeong-gu) and will hold a completion ceremony on the 27th.

To improve tap water quality, Seongnam City has spent a total project cost of 111.9 billion KRW over five years from April 2019 to recently, carrying out the installation of the advanced water treatment facility alongside the renovation of the water purification plant.

The advanced water treatment facility is a system that removes the distinctive taste, earthy smell, and mold odor from tap water when algae blooms massively due to high temperatures or drought.

The water is treated by adding a process that sterilizes it with ozone and filters it once more with charcoal (activated carbon).

This eliminates trace amounts of organic pollutants that are difficult to remove with the existing water treatment process, thereby improving the taste of the water.

Of the total project cost, 42.3 billion KRW (29.6 billion KRW from national funds and 12.7 billion KRW from city funds) was invested in installing the advanced water treatment facility, and 69.6 billion KRW was spent on the renovation of the water purification plant.

Perspective view of Seongnam Bokjeong Water Purification Plant

Seongnam City built a new water purification plant with a daily processing capacity of 34,000 tons on the site where the old 1st and 2nd water purification plants were demolished due to aging facilities.

Accordingly, Bokjeong Water Purification Plant is now equipped with a system that performs advanced water treatment on 314,000 tons of tap water produced daily from the newly constructed plant (34,000 tons per day) and the existing 3rd water purification plant (280,000 tons per day).

The tap water treated with advanced water treatment at Bokjeong Water Purification Plant is supplied to the entire Sujeong and Jungwon areas and part of Bundang.

Tap water in the Bundang area is supplied after advanced water treatment at Seongnam Water Purification Plant (Sasong-dong, Sujeong-gu), operated by Korea Water Resources Corporation.

The average daily supply of tap water in the Seongnam area is 310,000 tons, of which 200,000 tons are supplied from Bokjeong Water Purification Plant and 110,000 tons from Seongnam Water Purification Plant.
