[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam Province, has secured more than 9.9 billion won in national funds and other sources related to next year's public sewage projects.

According to the county on the 26th, an additional project budget of 9.92 billion won, including national funds, was secured for two public sewage projects next year.

The sewage projects Sancheong-gun plans to promote next year include ▲Sangbeop District (4.5 billion won) ▲Seokdae District (12.6 billion won) ▲Seokdae District Public Sewage Pipeline (13.4 billion won) ▲Sicheon District (2.4 billion won) ▲Noeun District (5.4 billion won) ▲Deokgyo District (13.5 billion won) ▲Daepo District (7.4 billion won) ▲Wolpyeong District (6.5 billion won) ▲Morye District (7.1 billion won) ▲Cheolsu District (2.8 billion won).

With this additional project budget secured, the county plans to accelerate ▲sewage pipeline maintenance projects ▲rural village sewage maintenance projects ▲sewage treatment plant expansion projects ▲small-scale sewage treatment facility maintenance and management.

In particular, the Morye and Cheolsu District public sewage maintenance projects, for which county funds were secured this year and are currently in detailed design, will be put out to tender next year, with thorough preparations to ensure early completion.

Sancheong-gun explained that securing this additional project budget is the result of continuous efforts to explain the project's validity and necessity to central government agencies such as the Ministry of Environment, Nakdong River Basin Environmental Office, and Ministry of Strategy and Finance, focusing all efforts on budget acquisition.

Currently, Sancheong-gun is conducting public sewage installation projects in seven districts including Seokdae District, having completed Sincheon District in 2021.

Through these projects, the county is promoting improvements in sewage facilities such as aging sewage pipeline maintenance, expansion of public sewage treatment plants, and establishment of a smart sewage management system based on information and communication technology.

County Governor Lee Seung-hwa said, “Efficient water quality management will be possible through maintenance of aging sewage pipelines and facilities as well as the establishment of a smart sewage management system,” adding, “We will do our best to secure additional national funds for ongoing projects that require more budget, as well as to ensure smooth project progress.”
