The Ministry of Environment has been evaluating the operation and management performance of public sewers annually since 2001 to improve the efficiency and service level of public sewer operation and management.

The review committee selected excellent institutions by conducting a final review of 40 items, including ▲sewer safety management response capability ▲sewer pipeline maintenance and management ▲reuse rate of treated sewage ▲carbon neutrality practices, targeting 160 local governments nationwide.

As a result of continuous efforts to provide high-quality sewer services, the city achieved the great success of being selected as an excellent institution for the first time in eight years since 2016.

Seo Jeong-seon, head of the Sewage Treatment Division, said, “As we have been recognized for excellence in public sewer operation and management, we will continue to improve the quality of life for citizens through proactive and systematic management of public sewers.”
