- Relaxed Criteria for Multi-Child Households; Victims and Bereaved Families of the Yeosun 10·19 Incident Added—Discounts Apply from the Month After Application
Yeosu City (Mayor Seo Young-hak) has expanded eligibility for water bill discounts to ease household financial burdens and is encouraging eligible households to apply.
Since January this year, the city has relaxed the criteria for multi-child households from three or more children under 18 to two or more children under 18. It has also extended eligibility to victims and bereaved families of the Yeosu–Suncheon 10·19 Incident.
Applications are accepted year-round. Eligible residents can visit their local eup, myeon, or dong community service center to complete and submit an application. Discounts apply to water bills issued from the month after application.
Residents qualifying under two or more categories will receive only the discount with the highest rate. Multiple discounts cannot be combined.
The city also operates an ‘Advance Water Leak Notification Service’ for households and businesses whose water usage has more than doubled from the previous month. The service alerts users to possible leaks and, where a leak is suspected, provides guidance on discount application procedures to help reduce water bill burdens.
A city official stated, “With eligibility expanded, we will actively inform eligible residents so they do not miss out on these benefits.” The official added, “Discounts apply from the month after application, so we encourage eligible households to apply and ease their financial burden.”
