Bucheon City, Odor Improvement Service for Gulpoh Sewage Treatment Plant... Improving Residential Conditions in Daejang New Town

Bucheon City in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 11th that it has launched a basic planning project to improve the odor at the Gulpo Sewage Treatment Plant.

Through this project, the city plans to minimize environmental issues at the Gulpo Sewage Treatment Plant and improve living conditions in the upcoming Daejang New Town. Kyungdong Engineering is in charge of establishing the basic plan, with the project scheduled to be completed by April next year.

Previously, the city formed an advisory group of 17 experts in water and sewage and odor fields, together with the Korea Land and Housing Corporation (LH), to enhance the objectivity and professionalism of the project. Subsequently, on the 23rd of last month, the first on-site meeting was held to gather opinions and conduct field investigations.

Daejang New Town, whose development plan was confirmed by the government in 2019, is expected to be established near the Gulpo Sewage Treatment Plant around 2029.

Jo Yong-ik, Mayor of Bucheon, said, "Improving the Gulpo Sewage Treatment Plant is a crucial project that will greatly influence the successful establishment of Daejang New Town, which will become Bucheon's new center." He added, "We will promptly establish the project direction to prevent future environmental complaints such as odor."
