[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yuseong Hoon) held a completion ceremony for the expansion construction of the Bakmi Stormwater Pump Station in Siheung 3-dong on the 22nd.

At the ceremony, Mayor Yuseong Hoon, construction officials, and local residents participated in the progress report, ribbon cutting, facility inspection, and pump operation demonstration.

The district started the expansion construction last May with a total project cost of 6.6 billion KRW supported by Seoul City to increase the drainage capacity of the Bakmi Stormwater Pump Station in Siheung 3-dong, which suffered flooding and landslide damage due to record heavy rains in 2010 and 2011.

The capacity of the collection well was expanded about twofold from the existing 3,257㎥ to 6,277㎥, and the drainage treatment facility capacity was also increased from 940㎥/min to 970㎥/min.

Mayor Yuseong Hoon said, “With the expansion of the Bakmi Stormwater Pump Station, the drainage treatment capacity capable of handling 95㎜ per hour has been secured, creating conditions for residents to live safely during the rainy season. We will build a safe city Geumcheon free from flood and water damage through preventive, proactive responses and systematic safety management.”
