[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 25th that from March until the rainy season, it will carry out dredging work on the rainwater and sewage pipelines within the sewage treatment areas of Geochang-eup and the myeon (township) units.

The county is focusing on removing elements that obstruct the flow of sewage, such as poor drainage caused by sediment, to prevent the habitation of harmful pests and the occurrence of foul odors in advance.

Jang Bong-gi, head of the Waterworks Office, said, "By proactively resolving various factors that obstruct sewage flow, such as poor drainage caused by various sediments and manholes, we will establish and implement a long-term maintenance plan for rainwater and sewage pipelines to prevent flood damage caused by heavy rainfall."

Unlike previous years, Geochang-gun plans to conduct a preliminary CCTV inspection followed by dredging on 4.5 km of rainwater and sewage pipelines in preparation for the advancing rainfall patterns that used to be concentrated in summer and the foul odors and drainage problems caused by the monsoon season.
