[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] The old Western Metropolitan Waterworks Office Civil Service Center building in Ahyeon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, will be reborn as the Gangbuk Workers' Welfare Center through remodeling.


On the 16th, Seoul City announced that it held an urban planning committee meeting on the 15th and approved the original plan for the urban management plan change of the water supply facilities in the 711 area of Ahyeon-dong. The water supply facilities in this area were established in 1991 with the Manri Pumping Station and two buildings of the Western Metropolitan Waterworks Office, but in 2008, the Western Metropolitan Waterworks Office merged with the Eunpyeong Waterworks Office and relocated to Hongje-dong. The Civil Service Center also moved to the Western Metropolitan Waterworks Office building in Hongje-dong in 2016, leaving only the Manri Pumping Station in operation.



With this review, the vacant old Western Metropolitan Waterworks Office Civil Service Center building will be remodeled. After its completion in December 2021, it will be operated as the Gangbuk Workers' Welfare Center. The Manri Pumping Station will be maintained as is, so there will be no changes to the water supply method in the Ahyeon-dong area.
