The management evaluation of local waterworks public enterprises is conducted every two years and is divided into five grades (A to E) based on 20 detailed indicators, including leadership and management systems, key business activities and performance, management efficiency, and customer satisfaction. The evaluation process includes both document and on-site assessments, as well as deliberations.

This year, Hanam City received high marks across the board, including efforts to freeze or reduce public utility charges to boost the local economy and address polarization, and efforts to implement sound management systems. As a result, the city achieved the highest "Grade A" rating again, following 2023, demonstrating its ongoing administrative improvements and achievements.

Lee Hyunjae, Mayor of Hanam, stated, "We will continue to do our best to provide citizens with a stable supply of safe and clean tap water." He added, "In particular, we will pursue advanced quality management of tap water through the installation project of the advanced water purification facility at the Hanam Water Purification Plant, which is scheduled for completion in November this year."
