Councilor Yang said, "There must be organic cooperation with Gwangju Metropolitan City, and continuous attention should be given to ensure that the phased stormwater and sewage separation project in Central District 8 is promoted in a timely manner," urging, "Please actively strive to promote Central District 8 early when there are changes in future conditions, such as revising the Basic Sewerage Maintenance Plan."
