부천시, 까치울정수장 응집제 누출로 인한 물고기 폐사 관련 생태계 복구 TF 운영

Quick Look

경기도 부천시는 까치울정수장 응집제 누출로 추정되는 물고기 집단 폐사와 관련해 부천자연생태공원 연못 및 베르네천 생태계 회복을 위한 전담 태스크포스를 구성해 운영 중이라고 28일 밝혔다. 누출된 응집제가 우수관거를 통해 유입돼 어류 폐사가 발생한 것으로 보고 있으며, 현재 수질은 정상 범위로 회복됐으나 중금속은 검출되지 않았고 응집제 성분이 생태독성에 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다.

AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

부천시 까치울정수장에서 응집제 누출 사고가 발생했으며, 이는 우수관거를 통해 부천자연생태공원 연못과 베르네천으로 유입돼 어류 폐사를 일으킨 것으로 추정된다. 응집제는 수돗물 생산 공정에서 부유물을 침전·제거하는 정수처리 약품으로, 하천 누출 시 어류에 영향을 줄 수 있지만 유해 물질은 아니다.

경기도 부천시는 까치울정수장 응집제 누출로 발생한 것으로 추정되는 물고기 집단 폐사와 관련해 부천자연생태공원 연못 및 베르네천의 생태계 회복을 위한 전담 태스크포스(TF)를 구성해 운영하고 있다고 28일 밝혔다.

부천시는 정수장 이송 배관에 균열이 발생해 누출된 응집제가 우수관거를 통해 부천자연생태공원 연못과 베르네천으로 유입돼 어류 폐사가 발생한 것으로 보고 있다.

응집제는 수돗물 생산 공정 중 물속의 부유물을 침전·제거하는 정수처리 약품으로 유해 물질은 아니지만 하천 누출 시 어류에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.

앞서 지난 6∼7일 오정구 작동 베르네천에서는 송사리 등 작은 어류 폐사체 30마리가 발견됐다.

시는 환경·생태 전문가와 정수시설 전문기관의 현장 자문을 거쳐 TF를 구성해 응집제가 섞인 물이 베르네천으로 유입되지 않도록 차단 조치를 완료했다.

폐사 신고 당시 베르네천 수소이온농도(pH)는 5.0 안팎까지 떨어졌으나, 현재는 7.0 수준으로 정상 범위(6.0~8.5)를 회복했다.

수질 검사 결과 중금속은 검출되지 않았지만, 응집제 성분이 생태독성 항목에 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다.

시는 노후 정수시설 기술 진단을 시행하고 약품 등 화학물질 누출을 상시 확인할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템도 구축할 계획이다.

이동훈 부천시 수도자원국장은 "이번 사고는 수돗물 공급과는 별개로, 평소처럼 안심하고 수돗물을 사용해도 된다"며 "노후 정수시설을 개선하고 관리체계를 강화해 안전한 수돗물 공급과 하천 생태계 관리에도 최선을 다하겠다"고 말했다.
