Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyungho) is operating the ‘Gwangjin Saengsuter’ to prevent heat-related illnesses caused by summer heatwaves.

To prevent heatstroke or exhaustion symptoms that easily occur in hot weather, it is recommended to drink enough water.

Accordingly, the district has started a pilot operation of water stations so that residents can safely engage in outdoor activities even during the heatwave.

‘Gwangjin Saengsuter’ provides 500ml ice water free of charge. Every day, 200 bottles of water are refilled three times at designated times. Anyone can freely use one bottle per day.

The installation locations are ▲Gingorang Valley ▲Achasan hiking trail ▲Jungnangcheon embankment path, selected as major walking routes used by many residents. It is available daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. until the end of August. During operating hours, public job workers or volunteers provide guidance on precautions.

Mayor Kim Kyungho said, “We are operating the Gwangjin Saengsuter so that pedestrians can take a short break from the heat,” and added, “We will do our best to ensure that many residents can spend a safe and healthy daily life against the heatwave.”
