Creating a Hygienic Environment for Tap Water Production
Preventing the Occurrence of Small Organisms
Jin Byeongyoung, the mayor of Hamyang County, announced on June 4 that he personally visited the Hamyang Water Purification Plant to inspect its operations and encourage the staff of the Waterworks and Sewerage Office, in order to ensure a hygienic environment for tap water production during the summer and to prevent the occurrence of small organisms.
The county's Waterworks and Sewerage Office operates two purification plants?Hamyang and Sasang?and is dedicated to the stable supply of clear and clean tap water as well as the creation of a pleasant environment.
Jin Byeongyoung, the mayor of Hamyang County, is inspecting the local water supply facilities on site.
The Hamyang Water Purification Plant manages 12 water reservoirs and 14 booster stations, while the Sasang Water Purification Plant operates 11 water reservoirs and 27 booster stations. In total, 23 water reservoirs and 41 booster stations are meticulously managed around the clock, overseeing the entire process from water production to supply.
Additionally, to enhance public trust in tap water, the county is expanding the "Tap Water Safety Verification System," which offers free water quality testing for households on six items: turbidity, residual chlorine, iron, copper, zinc, and hydrogen ion concentration.
Furthermore, Hamyang County, with national funding support from the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, is actively carrying out facility improvement projects to fundamentally block the inflow of small organisms. These projects include installing microfiltration nets in the purification and water reservoirs and building canopies over the coagulation and sedimentation basins.
During the on-site inspection, Mayor Jin thoroughly reviewed every stage of the tap water production and supply process, and also engaged in candid conversations with Waterworks and Sewerage Office staff to listen to their on-site challenges.
Jin Byeongyoung stated, "This year, the heat is expected to be more intense than usual, which will likely increase tap water usage. Please do your utmost to provide clean and safe tap water by creating a hygienic environment and preventing the occurrence of small organisms."
