Uljin County Launches Block-by-Block Inspection of Water Supply System

Inspections and Water Shutoff Operations Conducted
to Prevent Leakage and Ensure Stable Tap Water Supply

Uljin County (Governor Son Byungbok) is implementing proactive measures to reduce water leakage rates and improve the reliability of tap water supply in three blocks with low water supply efficiency.

These measures include confirming block isolation, conducting step tests, and performing road surface acoustic surveys to quickly identify and repair leakage points. The long-term goal is to prevent pipeline leaks by establishing pipeline network analysis and pressure control strategies.

On August 27, from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the following day, Uljin County carried out a water shutoff operation in parts of Jukbyeon 1-ri and 5-ri and Hujeong 1-ri in Jukbyeon-eup. At the same time on August 28, the operation was conducted in Wolsong 1-ri and 3-ri, Jiksan 1-ri and 2-ri, Geoil 1-ri and 2-ri, Gusan 3-ri, and Hwangbo 1-ri and 2-ri in Pyeonghae-myeon and Giseong-myeon.

On September 7, from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day, tap water supply will be suspended in Hupo 1-ri to 7-ri in Hupo-eup.

The Uljin County Clean Water Office notified residents that tap water supply will be interrupted during the shutoff period, advising them to prepare an adequate amount of water in advance. After the supply resumes, there may be temporary turbidity, so residents are strongly encouraged to let the water run sufficiently before use.

Kwon Jaemok, head of the Uljin County Clean Water Office, stated, "By continuously monitoring the water supply network and proactively addressing blocks with low efficiency, we will minimize leakage rates and do our utmost to provide clean and safe tap water that residents can trust."
