Strengthening the Foundation for Supplying Safe and Clean Tap Water
On September 25, Gangneung City in Gangwon Province was finally selected for the "Aged Water Supply Pipe Maintenance Project," a national and provincial subsidy project promoted by the Ministry of Environment.
The total project cost is 38.4 billion won (21.1 billion won from national and provincial funds, 17.3 billion won from the city budget). From 2026 to 2031, the city will renovate 37.4 kilometers of aged water supply pipes in the areas of Doosan-dong, Noam-dong, and Ponam-dong.
The city aims to achieve a water supply rate of 85% by replacing and maintaining water pipes that have been in use for more than 30 years. This will reduce water resource waste caused by leakage, prepare for extreme droughts, enhance water quality stability, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
