Water supply to 1,681 Ulsan homes to stop for five hours
Ulsan’s water authority plans to stop water supply to 1,681 homes in parts of Seongnam-dong from 11:50 p.m.
on Nov.
17 until 5 a.m.
on Nov.
18.
The affected area includes Meeting Street and the area around Lotte Castle Sky.
The interruption is part of an investigation into where water is leaking from the pipes.
In the Seongnam 5 block, only about 63% of the treated water supplied is reflected in billed water use, so the authority says a detailed check is needed.
Crews will close valves in seven sections one after another and study changes in water flow to identify suspected leak areas and causes of the low rate.
Residents are advised to store water before the interruption and run their taps until the water clears after work is finished.
Water supply to 1,681 homes in parts of Seongnam-dong, Ulsan, will be cut for about five hours.
The outage is scheduled from 11:50 p.m. on November 17 until 5 a.m. on November 18.
The Ulsan Waterworks Business Headquarters said the interruption is part of an investigation into water-pipe leaks.
The work will help identify suspected leak areas and reasons for low water revenue rates in Seongnam Block 5.
