[Sokcho News] Temporary suspension of water supply construction during the winter... Application deadline on the 27th

Sokcho City in Gangwon Province announced on the 11th that it will be accepting applications for water supply construction until the 27th ahead of the temporary suspension of private water supply construction for the winter.

Construction and application reception will be temporarily suspended from December 7 to March 1 of next year.

This is a measure to prevent poor construction due to falling temperatures in winter and to manage water supply facilities stably.

Accordingly, citizens who need water supply work must apply within the deadline.

In winter, the ground freezes, making excavation work difficult and work efficiency low.

Even in the process of restoring the road after construction, there is a risk that construction quality may deteriorate, such as the paving materials being separated.

The city plans to proceed with water supply construction after on-site investigation and consultation on applications received within the deadline.

For further information regarding application and suspension of construction, please contact the Clear Water Development Team of the City Clean Water Management Office (☎033-639-2532).

Choi Heung-soo, head of the city's clear water management office, said, "As this is a measure to prevent poor construction in the winter and stably manage water supply facilities, we ask for the citizens' understanding and cooperation. We will do our best to manage the facilities to ensure a stable supply of tap water."
