In a scenario simulating a leak caused by the detachment of a large water main joint, the city carried out ▲ accident reporting ▲ emergency dispatch and road control ▲ water outage publicity and water supply vehicle support ▲ traffic situation information provision ▲ leak repair work.
The city particularly checked the response system to minimize citizen inconvenience during water supply accidents, including road electronic signboard guidance, disaster text message transmission, minimizing water outage areas, water system switching, and water supply support to outage areas.
Im Jong-cheol, Vice Mayor of Pyeongtaek City, stated, "Through this drill, we were able to review the guidelines for ensuring citizens' safety and smooth water supply even during disasters," adding, "Based on this, we will improve the system to minimize inconvenience to citizens."
