Misan Rural Area Local Waterworks Perspective View / Boryeong City

Boryeong City, Chungnam Province, announced on the 13th that it has completed the Misang Rural Water Supply Facility Project, which invested a total project cost of 19 billion KRW to supply Boryeong Dam's wide-area waterworks to rural areas.

According to the city, the project includes 84.5 km of water supply and drainage pipelines, two booster pump stations, one flow meter room, and 21 fire hydrants.

With the completion of the waterworks facility construction, approximately 975 households and about 1,950 residents in 14 villages including Dohwadam-ri, Misan-myeon, are expected to benefit. Residents who wish to receive tap water supply can submit an application for approval of private water supply construction to the city’s Waterworks Department starting March 2025.

In addition, the city plans to begin construction of the Misan Reservoir (500㎥/day) next year to ensure a stable water supply in the Misan-myeon supply area.

Mayor Kim Dongil stated, “Misan-myeon, located upstream of Boryeong Dam, has long been marginalized due to various regulations while not receiving local water supply despite living near the dam. With the completion of this project, a stable water supply system has been established, eliminating concerns about water shortages. We will continue to manage and improve water supply facilities to ensure that no residents are left behind.”
