Ulju County in Ulsan Joins 'Water Outage Support Consumption Challenge for Small Business Owners'

Over 1,000 Participants and 46 Organizations Join in One Month
Community Support Continues for Local Business Recovery

Ulju County in Ulsan announced on September 1 that it had carried out the 'Water Outage Support Consumption Challenge for Small Business Owners' from July 31 to August 31, with a total of 46 organizations and groups and over 1,000 participants joining the effort.

This challenge was launched to support small business owners in the western region of Ulju County (Eonyang, Samnam, Dudong, Duseo, Sangbuk, and Samdong), who suffered from water outages caused by damage to water supply pipelines during the heavy rains in July, and to revitalize the local economy. Participants took part in a relay format by visiting businesses in the affected areas and leaving proof photos of their visits.

The challenge began on July 31, when Ulju County Mayor Lee Soongeol and senior public officials visited a restaurant in Samnam-eup to offer encouragement and support to small business owners. Following this, the Ulju County Council, city council, social organizations, and financial institutions participated in turn, helping to support the recovery of affected small businesses.

Additionally, Ulju County operated a 'focused recovery support period' for affected small business owners, prioritizing official gatherings such as county office dinners and membership training events at restaurants in the western region. The county also designated two days each month as holidays for the county office cafeteria to encourage employees to actively use restaurants in the affected areas.

Mayor Lee Soongeol stated, "This challenge was more than just a consumption activity; it was an opportunity to witness the warm support of organizations, groups, and residents for small business owners facing difficulties. As the public sector, private sector, and businesses have joined forces to help revitalize the local economy, we will continue to do our best to support the daily recovery of small business owners."
