Yangju City Prepares to Become a Mid-Sized City of 300,000... On-Site Executive Meeting Held at Sincheon Wastewater Treatment Plant

Report on the Status of Sewage Treatment Facilities Due to Population Growth and Increased Inflow Sewage Volume

Yang Su-hyun, Mayor of Yangju City, is listening to an explanation about the current situation from Lee Hak-nam, Head of the Sewage Department, after holding an "On-site Executive Meeting" at the Sincheon Public Sewage Treatment Plant in Eunhyeon-myeon on the morning of the 9th.

Gyeonggi Yangju City (Mayor Kang Su-hyun) is preparing to leap forward as a central city in northern Gyeonggi with a population of 300,000, ranking first in the nation for population growth rate and third for birth rate last year, driven by development projects such as the Okjeong and Hoecheon Yangju New Town housing developments and the Yangju Station area development.

On the morning of the 29th, Yangju City held an on-site executive meeting at the Sincheon Public Sewage Treatment Plant in Eunhyeon-myeon, chaired by Mayor Kang Su-hyun, with Deputy Mayor Kim Jeong-min and senior officials attending, to report on preparations for becoming a mid-sized city with a population of 300,000 and the status of sewage treatment facilities.

On this day, Mayor Kang Su-hyun received a report on the overall progress of the sewage treatment plant expansion and new construction projects currently underway in the city, as well as the status and issues of the sewage treatment facilities in operation, and exchanged opinions with related personnel.

With an expected shortage in sewage treatment capacity due to increased inflow from population growth, the city plans to invest 243.7 billion KRW in six public sewage treatment plants, including expansion projects at Okjeong, Nambang, Songchu, and Sincheon, and the construction of a new Gwangjeok sewage treatment plant, aiming to complete the projects by 2027.

Mayor Kang Su-hyun urged, “Sewage treatment facilities are essential infrastructure for urban development. Please do your best to ensure the projects are completed promptly in line with Yangju City’s growth.”
