On December 8, Gwangju City in Gyeonggi Province held a completion ceremony after finishing the drainage pump station and drainage channel maintenance work, which are key facilities of the "Jeongji Natural Disaster Risk Improvement District Maintenance Project" aimed at resolving the habitual flooding issue in the Jeongji-ri area of Toechon-myeon.

Approximately 30 people, including Mayor Bang Se-hwan, National Assemblyman Soh Byung-hoon, City Council Chairman Heo Kyung-haeng, distinguished guests, and local residents, attended the ceremony. They toured the operational site of the drainage pump station and celebrated the completion of the project together.

The area around Jeongji-ri's farms has repeatedly suffered flood damage due to the inability to discharge inland water whenever the water level of the Gyeongan Stream rose. In response, the city invested a total project cost of 25.8 billion won to establish comprehensive disaster prevention infrastructure, including the installation of a drainage pump station (retention basin), maintenance of 2.6 kilometers of drainage channels, and installation of a movable weir.

In particular, the newly completed drainage pump station is designed to quickly discharge domestic and rainwater that flows in during heavy rainfall, and is regarded as a key facility that will significantly reduce the risk of flooding in the Jeongji-ri area.

We expect it will make it possible to better protect the lives and property of residents even in disaster situations caused by abnormal weather events in the future."
