Wando-gun Launches Full-Scale Expansion of Public Sewage Treatment Plant with 14.9 Billion KRW Investment

1300t Expansion, Application of Advanced Treatment Process (FA-SBR)

Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) is initiating the 'Public Sewage Treatment Facility Expansion Project' to ensure stable sewage treatment.

According to the county on the 6th, this project aims to increase the existing 5,000-ton treatment facility by 1,300 tons due to the rise in sewage volume caused by various urban development plans and increased tourist demand.

The county incorporated this project into the 'Basic Sewerage Maintenance Plan' in 2020, and out of the total project cost of 14.9 billion KRW, 8.9 billion KRW will be supported by the Ministry of Environment and Jeollanam-do. Construction is scheduled to begin in March and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Notably, this project applies the 'Advanced Treatment Method' (FA-SBR), one of the microbial treatment methods (SBR).

This method offers excellent treatment efficiency, and considering Wando's geographical conditions located on the coast, materials with superior durability and corrosion resistance have been incorporated into the design, enabling stable response to future increases in sewage volume.

A county official stated, "We will do our best to promote the expansion project of the sewage treatment plant, an essential infrastructure for creating a pleasant residential environment."
