[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] On the 26th, Gimhae City in Gyeongnam announced that through consultations with LH, it will prevent double excavation in the Jinrye-myeon public support private rental project district to minimize inconvenience to residents and save a budget of 500 million KRW.

Originally, the city planned to install the water supply pipeline in June in the project district, while LH planned to lay the sewage pipeline in March 2022. Such separate project schedules would result in double excavation of the road, increasing traffic inconvenience and causing unnecessary budget waste.

Accordingly, the city consulted with LH and decided to entrust the sewage pipeline installation work to integrate the construction of the two pipelines. A consignment agreement is expected to be signed soon.

Im Jutaek, Director of the Water and Sewage Business Office, stated, “While inconvenience to residents is inevitable during the process of implementing water infrastructure projects, we will always review from multiple angles to minimize such inconveniences.”
