From a Bukcheong Muljangsu’s shoulder pole to a state-of-the-art facility, the story of Seoul’s water is truly remarkable. The Yeongdeungpo Arisu Water Purification Center stands as a testament to this transformation. Imagine Seoul just 50 years ago, a city grappling with the basic need for clean water. Residents relied on water peddlers, known as Bukcheong Muljangsu, who carried water from distant sources. This scene starkly contrasts with the advanced technology within these walls. The Yeongdeungpo Arisu Water Purification Center, established in 1971 and renovated in 2010, now plays a crucial role in providing safe and refreshing Arisu tap water to millions. This facility boasts a daily production capacity of 600,000 cubic meters. It employs advanced purification technologies. The innovative membrane filtering system, using Saliva membranes, removes impurities as small as 0.1 micrometers. The standard treatment process includes mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, and filtration. What sets the Yeongdeungpo Arisu Water Purification Center apart is its advanced water treatment capabilities. The ozone treatment process eliminates odors and unpleasant tastes, producing high-quality, refreshing water. This commitment to quality ensures that Arisu remains a reliable source of clean, safe, and great-tasting drinking water for Seoul’s residents and contributes to the city’s remarkable transformation.
