This project, which passed the Private Investment Project Review Committee organized by the Ministry of Economy and Finance in August, will now move forward in earnest for a total of 36 months following the signing of the implementation agreement.


The project focuses on fundamentally eliminating odors from sewage by converting combined sewer pipelines and septic tanks into separate sewer pipelines and drainage facilities, as well as safely discharging treated sewage to improve water quality.


The city is currently conducting the detailed design phase with the goal of starting construction next year. Upon completion, the project is expected to improve the living environment and establish a more pleasant urban infrastructure, significantly reducing the inconveniences citizens experience in their daily lives.



Mayor Donggeun Kim stated, "This implementation agreement marks a significant milestone in dramatically improving Uijeongbu's urban environment. We will ensure the smooth progress of the sewer pipeline maintenance project to reduce odors and improve water quality, thereby creating changes that citizens can truly feel."
