Yeongyang-gun Holds Resident Briefing Session on LPG Pipeline Network Construction Project at Myeon Level

Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk Province held a resident briefing session for the township-level LPG pipeline network construction project at the Subi-myeon Welfare Center on the 13th.

Yeongyang County held a residents' briefing session on the construction project of LPG pipeline network on a surface area basis.

The briefing session was attended by about 70 village residents, with County Governor O Do-chang, officials from the Korea LPG Pipeline Network Project Group, and other county officials explaining the project plan and major facility installation methods related to the LPG construction project, followed by a Q&A session.

This project involves installing an LPG pipeline network in rural areas where city gas is not supplied, aiming to improve outdated gas facilities, enhance convenience in gas usage, and reduce fuel costs by simplifying the LPG distribution structure.

So far, Yeongyang-gun has invested a total project cost of 22.8 billion KRW to complete the county-level LPG pipeline network supply project in July 2020, currently supplying LPG to about 2,500 households in the Yeongyang-eup area. Additionally, a village-level small storage tank supply project is underway, supplying LPG to about 650 households in 11 villages.

Governor O Do-chang stated, “Through this project, we expect a significant reduction in residents’ fuel cost burdens as well as improvements in safety and ease of use. We plan to continue and expand the LPG pipeline network supply project to enhance the energy welfare of our residents.”
