Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) announced that it has secured a budget of 9.75 billion KRW for the improvement project of the Mokgamcheon Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station.

On the 5th, the district signed a business agreement with the Hangang River Basin Environmental Office of the Ministry of Environment to delegate river construction work for the "Mokgamcheon Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station Flood Control Safety Improvement Project" to prevent flooding in Mokgamcheon.

According to the agreement, a budget of 9.75 billion KRW has been secured for the project, and by 2024, five aging pumps at the Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station will be replaced, with contracted power capacity to be expanded by 2025.

The Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station is the largest rainwater pump station in Guro-gu, adjacent to two national rivers, Anyangcheon and Mokgamcheon, and in emergencies, it can forcibly drain Mokgamcheon’s water flow into Anyangcheon, playing a crucial role in preventing flooding in the surrounding areas.

With this agreement, replacing five aging pumps (1340HP) at the Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station and expanding the power distribution line (contracted power) will enable stable pump operation and large-capacity power supply during emergencies.

In particular, it is expected to minimize flood damage in Gaebong-dong, Oryu-dong, and the Gwangmyeong area caused by heavy rainfall.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We expect the flood control safety of the Mokgamcheon Gaebong1 Rainwater Pump Station to be greatly improved,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to prevent flood and wind disasters by preparing for extreme and heavy rains.”
