Pyeongchang County to Launch Chang-ri Small-Scale Village Sewerage Installation Project
Total Project Budget Set at 15 Billion Won
Pyeongchang County in Gangwon Province will officially launch the Chang-ri Small-Scale Village Sewerage Installation Project, aimed at integrating the treatment of untreated sewage generated within the public sewage treatment zones of Chang-ri and Hoedong-ri in Mitan-myeon, following the confirmation of the total project budget for national funding from the Ministry of Environment.
According to Pyeongchang County on September 4, the Chang-ri Small-Scale Village Sewerage Installation Project involves abolishing the outdated small-scale sewage treatment facilities in Chang-ri and Hoedong, and constructing a new (relocated) small-scale sewage treatment facility with a capacity of 250 tons per day in the area of 139 Chang-ri, Mitan-myeon, which is downstream. The project will also include the maintenance of 8.067 kilometers of sewage pipelines and drainage facilities for 120 households, thereby integrating the treatment of untreated sewage within the public sewage treatment zones of Chang-ri and Hoedong-ri.
As a result of discussions regarding funding from the Ministry of Environment, the total project budget has been set at 15 billion won (8.5 billion won from the national government and 6.5 billion won from local government funds). This represents an increase of 4.9 billion won in national funding compared to the originally planned 3.6 billion won, and a total increase of 9 billion won in the overall project budget. Construction is scheduled to begin in November this year, with completion and operation planned for the end of 2026.
