Jungnang-gu Holds Resident Briefing Session on Sewer Pipeline Maintenance Project on the Afternoon of the 13th

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, attended the residents' briefing session on the aged sewage pipeline maintenance project held at Myeonmokbon-dong Community Service Center at 3 p.m. on the 13th and delivered a greeting.

Jungnang-gu (Mayor Ryu Gyeong-gi) held a resident briefing session on the sewer pipeline maintenance project on the afternoon of the 13th at the Myeonmokbon-dong Community Center for residents in Myeonmokbon-dong, Myeonmok 3·8-dong, and Mangu 3-dong areas.

Since August, the district has been carrying out a maintenance project targeting 24.4 km of aging sewer pipelines in the Myeonmok-dong and Mangu-dong areas. The project aims to secure minimum flow velocity, minimize sewer odor, and enhance the disaster prevention performance of the sewer pipelines to withstand heavy rains occurring at 30- and 50-year intervals.

The purpose is to prevent flooding and safety accidents by maintaining the aging sewer pipelines ahead of the expected heavy rainfall during the monsoon season.

The briefing session was attended by about 100 people, including Mayor Ryu and nearby residents, where the progress and plans for the aging sewer pipeline maintenance project were explained.

Ryu Gyeong-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “Safety can never be overemphasized. We will establish a mid- to long-term sewer maintenance plan including dredging, maintenance of aging sewer facilities, and improvement of aging sewer pipelines to ensure thorough flood prevention.” He added, “Since May, we have been operating the Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters 24 hours a day to protect residents’ safety from any possible disasters.”
