According to the county on the 24th, the “Comprehensive Emergency Response Situation Room” will be operated to respond quickly to complaints related to water and sewage that may arise during the holiday period. The county plans to minimize inconvenience for residents by promptly handling complaints and taking swift action in case of emergencies.

With a larger influx of people expected during the Chuseok holiday due to family and relatives visiting, the county has made thorough preparations to cope with the anticipated increase in tap water usage.

Accordingly, the county is conducting a two-week pre-inspection, which will continue until the 26th, targeting around 100 water and sewage facilities, including water purification plants, reservoirs, pumping stations, emergency wells, water and sewage pipelines, and manhole pumping stations. In addition, eight major reservoirs will be closely managed to ensure their water levels remain above 90%.

County Governor Choi Youngil stated, “We have conducted pre-inspections of all water and sewage facilities to prepare for the increased water demand during the holiday period and established a 24-hour duty system that can respond immediately to emergencies. We will do our utmost to ensure there are no disruptions in water and sewage supply during the holiday.”
