[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 23rd, Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced that it will promote a pilot project for computerization through a full survey of drainage facilities and the construction of a connected pipeline database.

Drainage facilities are installed to channel wastewater generated from buildings and facilities into the public sewer system. If sewage flows incorrectly into stormwater pipes, it causes odor and environmental pollution. Conversely, if stormwater flows into sewage pipes, it causes significant disruption to the operation of sewage treatment plants.

Gimhae City plans to invest 550 million KRW in this pilot project to establish a system for systematic management of drainage facilities.

Based on the results, starting next year, the project will be expanded in phases throughout the city: Phase 1 (2022?2023) in the Dong area, Phase 2 (2024) in Jangyu and Juchon areas, and Phase 3 (2025) in the remaining Myeon areas.

According to the results of the full survey by phase, improperly connected facilities will be repaired through maintenance work the following year. The total project cost is expected to be around 20 billion KRW.

Mayor Heo Seong-gon said, "Since this project involves visiting households directly for the survey, we ask for the active cooperation of citizens during the survey period," and added, "We will do our best to minimize any inconvenience."
