Seongbuk-gu, Free Installation of Flood Prevention Facilities for Flood-Prone Houses

Support for Backflow Prevention Devices and Water Barrier Panels... Applications Accepted from April to October at Local Community Centers and Flood Control Departments

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) has proactively taken action to prevent flood damage caused by heavy summer rains.

They have decided to provide indoor and outdoor backflow prevention devices and water barrier panels free of charge to flood-vulnerable houses, such as underground houses in low-lying areas and those prone to surface water overflow.

The backflow prevention devices not only prevent backflow into homes when public sewage pipe water levels rise due to heavy rain but also help block odors under normal conditions.

A representative from the Seongbuk-gu Office Water Management Division stated, "We hope many residents will show interest and apply, as we are proactively providing free flood prevention facilities to block or minimize flood damage to low-lying houses caused by heavy rains."

Applications for flood prevention facility installation can be made from April 1 to October by phone to the Seongbuk-gu Office Water Management Division or the local community service center. After application, installation proceeds following an on-site visit by the responsible staff.

Users are responsible for the maintenance and management costs of the flood prevention facilities.
