[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Yeongdeungpo District in Suwon conducted water quality inspections of civil defense emergency water supply facilities on the 16th and 17th of this month to ensure residents can safely drink water provided in the event of a civil defense emergency.

Currently, there are 8 facilities subject to water quality inspection among the civil defense drinking water supply facilities in the district.
