The proposal from Daegu, South Korea’s fourth-largest city, was submitted through the Metropolitan Waterworks Sewerage System (MWSS).
MWSS Administrator Reynaldo V. Velasco said the proposal was officially conveyed by a delegation from Daegu Metropolitan City, led by Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs Yon-chang Kim.
