It involves constructing a sewage treatment plant with a daily treatment capacity of 70 tons and installing 4 km of sewage pipelines. The project is expected to benefit 132 households.

This project is being promoted as part of the phased work of Gimcheon City's basic sewer maintenance plan, which was approved by the Ministry of Environment in November 2015. Following the detailed design service in March 2019, public sewer installation approval was obtained from the Daegu Environment Office in November last year. Completion is scheduled by 2022.
