With houses increasing in number and the material and cultural level of citizens rising, local governments direct a great deal of energies to ensuring the adequate supply of domestic water to the residents.
The 10th Session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly of the DPRK emphasized the need for the urban management sector to steadily push ahead with the implementation of immediate tasks and long-term plans for constantly improving the conditions and environment necessary for the people's civilized life as required by the overall development of socialism.
According to information available, Pyongyang Municipality worked out a plan for completing many projects to solve the shortage of domestic water this year and presses on with them as scheduled.
It has already built many pumping stations and water tanks, overhauled the water supply reservoirs and additionally installed, replaced or repaired hundreds of pieces of equipment.

In particular, pumps, electromotors and valves in hundreds of pumping stations were changed and repaired and diaphragm sluice valves and general feeder boxes newly installed to improve the operation of pumping stations in Pyongyang.
Dozens of flowmeters were installed to build a domestic water integrated management system in several settling reservoir management stations and water supply reservoirs and non-excavating restoring pipe was introduced into field on a trial basis by solving sci-tech problems arising in its production to further consolidate the material and technical foundations of the domestic water supply system.
Districts and counties in Pyongyang have also forged ahead with many projects including the construction of settling reservoirs, fresh water basins, purification plants and pumping stations and the laying of pipelines, while ensuring the quality of construction as required by the standard designs.
South Hamgyong Province finished the construction of water intake well of the settling reservoir and North Hamgyong Province laid the foundations for producing more domestic water than before by installing more facilities in settling reservoirs.
At present, relevant units push ahead with projects to exploit additional source of water supply as scheduled including the installation of equipment and securing of filtering sand after finishing the construction of establishments of settling reservoirs, paving of compound roads with concrete and infrastructure building.
