[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun (Governor Gu Chung-gon) announced on the 22nd that it will officially begin the maintenance of aging sewer pipes in the Gwangdeok Residential District.

The county conducted a detailed inspection focusing on pipes that have been buried for over 20 years since 2017.

As a result of the investigation, defects were found in the sewage pipes for a 2.27 km section and stormwater pipes for a 2.41 km section, including pipe damage and detachment in Ilsim-ri and Gwangdeok-ri areas, ground subsidence, and improper connections of drainage facilities.
