The Water Quality of 'Naengcheon,' a River Originating in Pohang City, Will Drastically Improve... New Sewage Pipeline Established in Ocheon-eup

Maintenance of 52km Sewer Pipeline Section in Ocheon-eup Area by Spring 2024... 49.1 Billion KRW Invested

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongwook Park] A sewer pipeline maintenance project to separate rainwater and sewage has begun in Ocheon-eup, the gateway to Pohang City on the Pohang-Ulsan Expressway.

This project, promoted as part of the water quality improvement project for the 'Naengcheon' stream that starts in Pohang, will invest 49.1 billion KRW and is scheduled to be completed by May 2024.

The groundbreaking ceremony was held on the 19th at the construction site in Ocheon-eup. About 150 people attended the ceremony, including Mayor Kangdeok Lee, provincial assembly members, city council members, heads of related organizations and groups, and residents.

Through this project, Pohang City will newly construct 52 km of sewer pipelines and 3,056 drainage facilities in the Ocheon-eup area. In this area where sewage pipelines have not yet been installed, new sewage pipelines will be installed, and the pipeline system will be maintained to allow direct discharge of fecal sewage into the sewage pipelines.

Mayor Kangdeok Lee stated, "Once this project is completed, it will help improve the water quality of Naengcheon through smooth sewage treatment in the Ocheon-eup area, as well as contribute to a pleasant residential environment and the improvement of public hygiene for residents."
