This project is part of the Hampyeong-gun local waterworks efficiency project that the two organizations have been conducting since 2009 to improve tap water quality. It is expected to continue operation and management by applying smart network management technology.

Korea Electric Power Corporation will also install a metering system to ensure the stable supply of high-quality electricity. Through an app called "Power Planner," real-time information such as electricity bills will be provided.

Lee Sang-ik, the county governor, stated, "I hope the Smart Village project will bear fruit as a convenient citizen-centered administrative service by combining Hampyeong-gun's administrative capabilities with the technological expertise of K-water and Korea Electric Power Corporation."
