The Local Public Enterprise Management Evaluation is a system that comprehensively assesses the 2024 management performance of 281 local public enterprises nationwide. The water supply and sewage sectors are evaluated biennially.

This year, 113 water supply enterprises from basic local governments were evaluated across 18 detailed indicators, including management innovation, financial management, organizational and human resource management, and customer satisfaction. The evaluation grades were divided into five levels, ranging from the highest, 'A', to the lowest, 'E'.

In this evaluation, Gyeongsan City received particularly high marks for several initiatives: implementing a reorganization of its dedicated water management team to ensure clean and stable tap water supply and improve customer satisfaction; replacing aging water pipes to increase the water supply rate; continuously raising the water supply coverage through rural and fishing village water supply development projects and the installation of new water pipelines; enhancing water quality stability by establishing smart pipeline management infrastructure; and building a disaster and safety management system at the water management organizational level.

Mayor Cho Hyunil stated, "As we have consistently received excellent evaluations in the Local Public Enterprise Management Evaluation, we will continue to pursue responsible management to operate a sound public enterprise. We will enhance management efficiency by reducing production costs, expand water supply infrastructure, and implement systematic and smart pipeline management so that citizens can have even greater trust in the tap water we provide."
