Inje-gun to Complete Five 'Public Sewage Treatment Plants' by June This Year

[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] Inje-gun, Gangwon Province, plans to complete the expansion project of the public sewage treatment plant and the maintenance projects of five sewage facilities by June.

According to the county on the 24th, thanks to securing national funds during the 7th local government administration, a total of five projects are scheduled for early completion in the first half of the year: ▲Expansion of Inje Public Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Expansion of Buk-myeon Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Expansion of Seohwa Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Construction of a small-scale sewage treatment facility in Tohyeon ▲Expansion of Salgumi sewage pipelines.

The four public sewage treatment plant projects were originally expected to be completed after August, but are now anticipated to be finished earlier due to the secured national funding.

The expansion of the public sewage treatment plants involves an investment of approximately 9.479 billion KRW, increasing the daily treatment capacity from 2,600 tons to 3,200 tons.

Additionally, the Buk-myeon sewage treatment plant expansion project will enable the connection and treatment of wastewater from nearby military units as well as the Galkol area of Wontong 8-ri to the public sewage treatment plant.

The Seohwa sewage treatment plant expansion project will allow the inflow and treatment of wastewater from military units, which is expected to help improve the water quality of Inbukcheon Stream.

Furthermore, once the construction of the small-scale sewage treatment facility in Tohyeon is completed in the first half of this year, about 40 households in Tohyeon Village, Girin-myeon, will be able to treat wastewater through the public sewage treatment plant, eliminating the need for individual septic tanks.

In addition, four new projects are planned for this year: ▲Nam-myeon Integrated Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Sangnam Public Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Eoduwon (Gwanbeol) Small-scale Sewage Treatment Plant ▲Gwangju (Hupyeong-dong) Small-scale Sewage Treatment Plant.

With this expansion, the infrastructure has been established by predicting not only the previously unreflected demand but also the future treatment capacity needed for nearby military units and other factors.
