Gangwon Province: "Feel Safe Drinking Spring Water Distributed in the Province"

Water Quality Tests Confirm All Distributed Products in the Province Meet Standards

Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Kim Jin-tae) announced on the 18th that, following guidance and inspections of drinking water manufacturers and quality tests on distributed products to preserve local water resources and ensure the safety of drinking spring water, all drinking spring water products currently distributed in the province were found to meet water quality standards.

Through this inspection, the province comprehensively examined the operation and management status of manufacturing businesses, water quality tests of spring water (raw water), the sanitary condition of production facilities, and whether in-house quality inspections were being carried out.

In particular, water quality tests were conducted in the first, second, and third quarters of this year on drinking spring water products collected from large supermarkets and convenience stores, and all products were found to meet water quality standards.

Currently, there are six drinking spring water manufacturers operating in the province: Gangwon Saemmul Co., Ltd., Donghae Saemmul Co., Ltd., Taebaeksansu Beverage Co., Ltd., TM, Haitai htb Co., Ltd. Cheorwon Plant, and Haitai htb Co., Ltd. Pyeongchang Plant.

In the water quality tests of spring water (raw water) conducted in the first half of this year, all six companies were also rated as "compliant," confirming that they produce products based on clean groundwater.

In particular, Haitai htb Co., Ltd. actively contributed to social responsibility by donating approximately 60,000 bottles (2L each) of "Gangwon Pyeongchang Water"-the first such initiative by a private company-to help overcome the drought in Gangneung.

Jang Seok, Head of the Water Quality Conservation Division of Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province, stated, "Drinking spring water manufacturers in the province have worked together with the local community to overcome crises, such as providing bottled water during disaster situations. Building on our pride in Gangwon's clean water, we will continue systematic and thorough water quality management so that residents can safely use drinking spring water."
