Gwanak-gu Installs Electronic Display Board for Rainwater Pump Station Operation

Gwanak-gu Installs Operation Status Display Boards at Rainwater Pump Stations and Adds More Pumps to Prepare for Heavy Rainfall

Installation of Display Boards Showing Operation Status of Rainwater Pump Stations Enables Swift Response to Flood Damage

Over 1,400 Pumps Deployed at Community Service Centers for Easy Rental by Residents

Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Junhee) has installed operation status display boards at rainwater pump stations and added more pumps to prevent flood damage during heavy rainfall.

On June 14, the district completed the installation of real-time operation status display boards at three rainwater pump stations (▲Sillim ▲Sillim2 ▲Sillim5).

Previously, the rainwater pump stations only indicated operation status with warning lights, making it difficult for residents to obtain accurate information. With the installation of the display boards, residents can easily check whether pumps are operating and how many are active, enabling a swift response to flood damage.

Under normal conditions, the display boards will show fine dust, ultrafine dust, and ozone information provided by the Korea Environment Corporation, as well as temperature, humidity, wind direction, and wind speed data from the Korea Meteorological Administration, supporting residents' comfortable living.

Additionally, the district has increased the number of pumps available for rental by residents by adding approximately 800 pumps to the existing 600 units placed at community service centers.

Any Gwanak-gu resident can visit their local community service center to rent a pump free of charge and return it to the center after use.

Furthermore, to assist residents who have difficulty moving or cannot visit rental locations due to road flooding during heavy rain, a dedicated "Pump Support Mobile Team" will operate to provide on-site pump rental services.

Requests for pump support can be made at the resident’s local community service center, Gwanak-gu Office’s Water Management Division, or the Gwanak-gu Disaster Situation Room.

Mayor Park Junhee stated, "We will prepare thoroughly to protect residents' lives and property from heavy rainfall and other disasters."
