Imsil-gun, Proactive Response to Systematization and Efficiency Improvement of Sewerage Maintenance

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] Imsil-gun, Jeonbuk, is proactively undertaking systematic and efficient future-oriented sewer maintenance that can respond swiftly during heavy rainfall.

On the 15th, the county announced that it is promoting a project to establish changes to the basic sewer maintenance plan and water reuse management plan to reflect urban conditions within the jurisdiction (total area 596.0㎢) due to the expansion of infrastructure and facilities.

This project, with a budget of 1.6 billion KRW from the county, aims to prepare basic policies for systematic sewer maintenance through 2040.

Considering recent climate change, the plan intends to prevent flooding by quickly discharging stormwater during heavy rains, while also establishing rational sewer treatment zone adjustments, investigating untreated areas and appropriate treatment methods, efficient improvement plans for sewage treatment facilities, and measures to secure the financial soundness of the sewer system.

Additionally, changes to the water reuse management plan involve modifications related to ‘Imsil Public Sewage Treatment Plant sewage treatment water reuse,’ aiming to enhance water reuse activation through rational operation and efficient water use of rainwater, reclaimed water, and wastewater reuse.

The county expects that this ‘Basic Sewer Maintenance Plan and Water Reuse Management Plan’ will become an important milestone in the development of Imsil-gun’s sewer policies.

In particular, it is anticipated to lead to policies with high public awareness by thoroughly reviewing changes in urban conditions.

County Governor Shim Min said, “By establishing basic policies for systematic sewer maintenance, efficient water use tailored to local conditions will become possible,” adding, “We will make Imsil-gun’s sewer-related policies a model through a clear and rational plan that looks toward the future.”
