Building Small Storage Tanks and Pipeline Networks

The target area for the project is 23 households in Gajwa 1-ri Village, Baegam-myeon. The total project cost is 430 million won, with 10% funded by the provincial government, 80% by the city, and 10% by the residents.

This year, the project involves installing one communal small storage tank for the village and laying a 580-meter-long supply pipeline network. For nine households located in outlying areas where joint pipeline connections are difficult due to topographical conditions, individual small storage tanks (0.25 tons) will be installed separately. This customized design ensures that all households receive benefits.

Once the project is completed, residents of Gajwa 1-ri Village in Baegam-myeon will be able to use gas at a cost approximately 30% lower than before the project, and will also benefit from regular safety management services provided by professional gas companies.

To ensure smooth project implementation, the city held a residents' briefing session at the Gajwa 1-ri Village Hall on May 29, explaining detailed project information and the construction schedule, and gathering residents' opinions on various administrative procedures, including reviews of the Hawol river section.

A Yongin City official stated, "Last year, we achieved good results by promoting the supply of LPG small storage tanks in Okcheon and Sangsan villages in Baegam-myeon to provide energy to rural areas. This year, we are committed to successfully completing the project in Gajwa 1-ri Village as well," adding, "We will continue to expand infrastructure construction projects so that rural residents are not excluded from energy benefits."

Meanwhile, last year, Yongin Special City also completed a project to install two small storage tanks and build a 1.9 km supply pipeline in Okcheon Village (26 households) and Sangsan Village (19 households) in Baegam-myeon, Cheoin-gu, where city gas is not supplied, at a total cost of 750 million won.
