[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has completed the public sewage installation project aimed at improving residential environments and protecting the natural environment, including the water quality of local streams.

On the 28th, the county completed the public sewage installation project in the Sincheon-ri and Dongdang-ri areas of Sicheon-myeon, which began construction in September 2018.

A total of 9.6 billion KRW was invested in the Sincheon district public sewage installation project.

The project included the installation of a sewage treatment plant (140t/day), deodorization facilities, approximately 11.4 km of sewage pipelines, and 10 manhole pump stations, as well as drainage facilities for 244 households in the area.

Through this project, the county expects to create a pleasant residential environment by closing individual septic tanks and connecting domestic wastewater to the public sewage system, which will also greatly contribute to water quality preservation.

With the recent influx of returnees to farming and rural areas increasing housing sites, the need to expand public sewage pipelines and rural village sewage systems has grown, prompting the county to actively request related budget support from government ministries such as the Ministry of Environment.

Recently, officials visited the Government Sejong Complex to request national funds necessary for the expansion of sewage pipelines and sewage treatment plants in Danseong-myeon, Samjang-myeon, and Sindeung-myeon.

Alongside this, continuous guidance, inspection, and installation of individual sewage treatment facilities are being carried out. Recently, 10 new individual sewage treatment facilities were constructed in places including Sonam-ri, Danseong-myeon.

A county official stated, “With the completion of this project, it will help improve the residential environment of local residents as well as preserve the clear water of Deokcheon River, which is close to Jirisan. We will continue to make every effort to secure national budgets to improve the county’s sewage coverage rate.”
