Yeongdeungpo-gu Completes Sewage System Improvement Project in Woncheon-dong Logistics Center Area

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Yeongdeungpo-gu in Suwon announced on the 20th that it has completed sewage system improvement work over approximately two months starting in May in the chronically flood-prone area around 381-1 Woncheon-dong (former JDX Logistics Center).

The area is the only flood-prone zone in Yeongdeungpo-gu, and nearby residents have reported significant inconvenience during heavy downpours.

The district completed the improvement project spanning 149 meters by expanding the existing sewage pipe diameter by 100mm and adjusting the slope angle to improve water flow, thereby resolving resident inconvenience and preventing disasters.

A district official stated, "The project was challenging as numerous underground facilities including communication lines and city gas pipes are buried in the area, but we did our best despite the difficult working conditions."

Song Young-wan, head of Yeongdeungpo-gu Office, said, "Flood damage is a critical natural disaster that must be resolved. We will continue to conduct monitoring and take immediate action if problems arise to completely alleviate residents' concerns about flooding."
