Jungnang-gu, Maintenance of Sewage Pipelines Over 30 Years Old

A Total of 8.8 Billion Won Invested to Renovate 11 Aging Sewage Pipelines Including Muk2-dong Area by the End of June

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) will complete the maintenance work on sewer pipes over 30 years old within Jungnang-gu by the end of June to protect residents' lives and property from flood damage ahead of the rainy season and to resolve residents' inconveniences caused by sewer odors.

The project, with a total budget of 8.8 billion KRW including Seoul city funds, will be carried out in 12 locations including the Mook 2-dong area designated as an urban regeneration project district, Sangbong Terminal area, Mangwoo Bon-dong Hope Project District, and Myeonmok 3 and 8-dong Residential Environment Management Project District, starting within this month.

The district office plans to take immediate action through on-site inspections whenever complaints related to damage to the sewer facilities are received during the maintenance work.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, said, “The maintenance of old sewer pipes will greatly contribute to preventing flood damage,” adding, “We will do our best to create a better living environment in Jungnang-gu by preventing odor generation, poor drainage, and safety accidents caused by road subsidence.”

Jungnang-gu is currently conducting dredging work on rainwater inlets to protect residents' safety from flood damage and improve public health and hygiene. To ensure smooth progress and create jobs for the elderly, 35 residents aged 55 and older living in Jungnang-gu have been hired as temporary workers for the rainwater inlet dredging project.
