Jungnang-gu Launches Sewer Pipeline Maintenance Project to Proactively Prevent Flood Damage

Maintenance of 140m Aging Sewer Pipes in the Mangu-dong Area
Expansion of 130 Rainwater Inlets and Installation of 20 Additional Units

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) has begun full-scale maintenance work on aging sewer pipes starting from the 25th to prevent summer flood damage in advance.

The maintenance target is 140 meters of aging sewer pipes around Mangu-ro 63-gil, with the goal of completing the work before the rainy season. The section under construction has been buried for over 30 years and has been the site of continuous complaints regarding poor drainage and sewer odors due to aging.

Accordingly, the district plans to thoroughly maintain the sewer pipes to resolve residents' complaints and inconveniences while making thorough preparations for the rainy season.

In addition to sewer pipes, the district will also expand rainwater inlets. It plans to enlarge 130 rainwater inlets installed at crosswalks, bus stops, and subway entrances where there is heavy pedestrian traffic. Furthermore, 20 additional rainwater inlets will be installed to facilitate smoother drainage during heavy rains.

Once the construction is completed, it is expected to contribute not only to establishing efficient drainage facilities and eliminating odors but also to preventing safety accidents caused by road sinkholes.

Moreover, for more meticulous management, the district will promptly inspect and swiftly repair any reported damages to sewer facilities upon receiving complaints from residents.

District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi stated, “We will quickly maintain the sewer pipes, expand rainwater inlets, and establish thorough preparedness for the upcoming rainy season. We will continue to take proactive measures on matters directly related to residents' safety to realize a safe Jungnang.”
