Hampyeong-gun Launches Full Operation of Guksan District Public Sewage Treatment Facility

Installation of 1.9km Sewer Pipeline and One Sewage Treatment Facility... Operation to Begin in July After Completion of Test Run

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun has completed the Guksan District village sewage system improvement project and will begin full-scale operation starting in July.

Hampyeong-gun, Jeollanam-do, announced on the 21st that it has completed the "Guksan District Rural Village Sewage Installation Project," investing 2.8 billion KRW to install 1.9 km of sewage pipelines and one sewage treatment facility to treat sewage generated in Guksan Village and Mannyeon Village in Manheung-ri, Hampyeong-eup.

The public sewage treatment facility project in the Guksan District, which began construction in 2019, is scheduled for completion by the end of this month, with plans to start operation in July after trial runs.

Until now, about 65 households in Manheung-ri have experienced inconvenience as there was no public sewage treatment facility, requiring them to discharge domestic wastewater through septic tanks installed in each household into village drainage ditches.

A county official stated, "This project has resolved the sewage treatment inconvenience for residents of Manheung-ri," adding, "It is expected to significantly improve public hygiene for local residents as well as water quality in public water areas."

Meanwhile, the Wolcheon and Jungnyang District village sewage system improvement projects are also scheduled for completion this year. Once these projects are completed, the sewage coverage rate in Hampyeong-gun will increase from 85.3% to 87.7%.
