This online window is a new service that allows citizens to handle water and sewage charge-related inquiries online, which previously required in-person visits or phone calls. Residents can conveniently carry out necessary tasks using their PC or mobile devices at any time and from any location.

The main services offered include applying for or canceling automatic account transfers, applying for or canceling credit card auto payments, checking and paying water and sewage charges, and applying for smart billing. By enabling the completion of multiple work tasks in one place through a one-stop service, the usage process is expected to become significantly simpler.

Upon signing up for smart billing, users can receive bills through mobile platforms such as KakaoTalk. This reduces the risk of losing paper bills and allows users to check and pay their charges any time.

The online window is accessible either directly via its dedicated website or through pop-up banners on the main pages of the Sokcho City Hall website and the Clean Water Management Office website. It supports both PC and mobile, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

With the shift from exclusively in-person or phone-based water and sewage service requests to online processing, citizen convenience is expected to increase significantly.

Sokcho City plans to gather citizen feedback and conduct a final system stability check during the pilot period before officially starting the service.

Mayor Lee Byeong-seon of Sokcho stated, "With the launch of the online window, citizens can conveniently access water and sewage administrative services without being bound by time or place. We will continue to expand citizen-centered digital administration services to create a more convenient administrative environment."
