The Seoul Metropolitan area's water meter report was filed for the first time in Seoul this year, as the cold weather continued to fall below minus 11 degrees.

SEOUL, South Korea (Reuters) - Seoul Metropolitan Government's waterworks headquarters today said it has received 34 complaints filed with a water meter during the day from yesterday morning.

There were 20 cases in the daytime and 14 cases of meter wave accident in the nighttime since 6 pm.

Today's morning minimum temperature in Seoul was -11.4 degrees.

The waterworks business headquarters in Seoul is upgrading the forecast system for prevention of frost damage to water meter.

The 'Boundary' stage is issued when the minimum temperature drops below minus 10 degrees.

If you do not use the tap water for a long time, do tap water in the bathtub / washstand by turning tap water.

When the tap water does not come out suddenly, make sure that the water meter glass breaks or swells up.

If you suspect Dongpa, you can report it to the Dasan Call Center in Seoul (phone number 120) or your local authority.
