As the number of hikers using the trails around Pilbongsan and Gamtubong near the reservoir increased, the slopes intended to stabilize the water facilities were being used as hiking trails. This raised concerns about the increased risk of safety accidents and potential safety issues with the reservoir due to slope erosion during heavy rains, highlighting the need for maintenance.

The city explained that it invested 100 million won to remove underbrush on the slopes to secure safe passage, while also maintaining drainage facilities along approximately 1 km of the reservoir slope section and installing eco-friendly coir mats to enhance stability.

Im Doobin, head of the Waterworks Division of Osan City, said, "We will do our best to maintain the environment around water facilities to provide citizens with a safe and pleasant resting space."
