County Governor Yu Cheon-ho Hosts Candid Discussion with Seodo-myeon Residents

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Shin Eun-seop] County Governor Yu Cheon-ho held a candid discussion with residents on the 22nd in the conference room at the Seodo-myeon office, directly explaining the implementation plan for the 'Jumun village sewage system maintenance project' and listening to their opinions.

The event was attended by County Council Member Park Yong-chul, Korea Rural Community Corporation Ganghwa-Ongjin branch manager Lee Su-geun, Korean Federation of Banks Gyeonggin Northern Regional Fisheries Cooperative President Lee Man-sik, and Seoganghwa Agricultural Cooperative President Hwang Ui-hwan.

County Governor Yu Cheon-ho stated, "Once the Jumun village sewage system project is completed, individual wastewater treatment facilities in each household can be eliminated, which will suppress pest breeding and prevent polluted water from being discharged into the West Sea, thereby helping improve the village's residential environment and marine ecosystem," adding "Starting with this project, I will do my best to realize the 'Seodo-myeon short-term development plan.'"

The 'Jumun village sewage system maintenance project,' based on the 'Seodo-myeon short-term development plan,' is a project to invest 7.08 billion won in Jumun Island to install one small-scale sewage treatment facility (treatment capacity 70㎥/day), 3.43 kilometers of sewage pipes, and 106 drainage facilities by July 2024. The removal of pollution sources is expected to contribute to the conservation of the marine ecosystem in urban areas and the improvement of living environments.

In particular, the 'Seodo-myeon short-term development plan' was prepared in August to promote the development of the underdeveloped Seodo region, which is separated from the main island by sea routes and mostly bound by the Demilitarized Zone and military protection zones, and to improve residents' income and living standards.
