Restoration work on the damaged water supply pipe is underway during the relocation of the pedestrian overpass and installation of the footbridge in Seokjeon-dong, Masanhoewon-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Lee Seryeong] During the relocation of the overpass and installation of a pedestrian bridge in Seokjeon-dong, Masanhwoewon-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam, a water transmission pipe was damaged, causing water outages in various parts of the city.

Water supply was cut off in four districts: Uichang-gu excluding Eupmyeon, Sogae, and Sodap-dong; Seongsan-gu except Daebang-dong; the entire Masanhappo-gu; and Masanhwoewon-gu excluding Hapjeong, Naeseo, and Guam.

Changwon City announced on the 25th that it began water shutdown around 11 p.m. the previous day to relocate the Seokjeon-dong overpass and install the pedestrian bridge, and that water pressure dropped around midnight due to partial damage to the water transmission pipe.

From 12 a.m. that day, a wooden block installation work to stop the leakage was carried out, but water continued to accumulate at the work site, preventing the leakage from being stopped.

Two large pumps and seven small pumps were mobilized for the restoration work, which is ongoing, but the city expects the work to be completed by midnight on the 25th.
