【Chungbuk Break News】Reporter Lim Chang-yong = Jecheon City (Mayor Kim Chang-gyu) announced on the 19th that it operates a management system that allows building owners or facility managers to input and submit results of water supply facility sanitation measures, such as water tank cleaning and water quality testing, online.
The current Waterworks Act requires that if the owner or manager of a building of a certain size or larger that uses a large amount of tap water installs a water storage tank, he or she must report the installation status to the general water service provider and receive regular water tank cleaning, water quality testing, and manager training.
According to the city, the results of water tank sanitation measures, which had previously been mostly managed manually, such as by mail or fax, can be viewed by building managers and owners or sanitation measure agency/requesting companies by accessing the Jecheon City Waterworks Office website, verifying their identity, and reporting the results of water supply facility sanitation measures. Registration has become simple.
Accordingly, it is expected that not only will inefficient work be improved, but owners and managers will be encouraged to implement hygiene measures to ensure the supply of clean water, and management transparency will be improved.
In addition, it is expected that it will be able to resolve the inconveniences of managers such as costs incurred due to mail submission and loss of performance, and efficiently manage more than 800 manual reports per year.
A city official said, “We will continue to provide convenience by introducing various services that will satisfy citizens, and by strengthening water tank management and supervision, we will be able to increase the reliability of tap water and supply safe and clean tap water.”
