Ulsan City, Completion Ceremony of Eonyang Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Project

Ulsan Ulju-gun Western Area Processes 60,000 Tons Daily

Ulsan City will hold the ‘Eonyang Sewage Treatment Facility Expansion Project Completion Ceremony’ at 3 p.m. on the 26th at the Eonyang Water Quality Improvement Office in Gusu-ri, Eonyang-eup, Ulju-gun.

About 100 people, including Ulsan Mayor Kim Doo-gyeom, National Assembly member Seo Beom-su, city council members, Ulju County Governor Lee Soon-geol, Ulju County council members, representatives of environmental organizations, and resident representatives, will attend the completion ceremony.

Ulsan City is promoting the expansion of the Eonyang sewage treatment facility to prepare for the increase in sewage volume due to various urban development projects and apartment construction projects actively underway in the western area of Ulju-gun, including the KTX station area development.

This expansion project began in September 2022 with a project cost of 15.8 billion KRW. Through this expansion, the Eonyang Sewage Treatment Facility will have a sewage treatment capacity of 60,000 tons per day. Mechanical and electrical equipment were installed in the primary and secondary sedimentation tanks and biological reactors to accommodate the increased treatment capacity, and deodorizing devices were newly installed in facilities with potential odor issues to prevent complaints.

An official from Ulsan City said, “With the completion of the expansion project, stable treatment and preparation for sewage generated by various urban developments in the western region of Ulju-gun will be possible, and the water quality of the upper Taehwa River area is expected to improve further.”
