According to the county, as issues of deteriorating water quality and insufficient water quantity have been recurring in areas relying on private groundwater or small-scale water supply facilities, it has invested 4.5 billion won this year to expand the water supply infrastructure. The main components of the project include the construction of 15.6 kilometers of new water pipelines and the installation of seven booster pump stations.

The areas targeted for the local water supply expansion are 11 villages: Majang-ri and Gaegok-ri in Gapyeong-eup; Wigok 1-ri and Seonchon 2-ri in Seorak-myeon; Cheongpyeong 5-ri and Daeseong 1-ri in Cheongpyeong-myeon; Haenghyeon 1-ri, Hangsa-ri, and Wonheung-ri in Sang-myeon; and Sinsang 1-ri and Sangpan-ri in Jojong-myeon.

Gapyeong County expects that, upon completion of the project, about 200 households-approximately 400 residents-will be able to use a stable and clean tap water supply.

A county official stated, "As water shortages are worsening due to ongoing climate change, expanding the local water supply is a key initiative to improve residents' quality of life. We will continue to gradually expand water supply coverage to vulnerable areas and establish a safe and clean water supply system."
