Sewer Pipe Maintenance Project Covering 58 km to Complete by 2009

Suwon City will implement sewer pipe maintenance projects in phases through 2009 to prevent odor issues from sewage systems and flooding caused by poor drainage.

According to the city, the sewer pipe maintenance project, which will require a total project cost of 79.474 billion won through 2009, will maintain a total of 58 km of sewer pipes and install maintenance management systems at 1,407 drainage facilities, with one system per facility.

Currently, construction has begun in four sewer treatment areas: Songjuk-dong in Jangan-gu, Maesan-dong and Paldaldongin Paldal-gu, and Maetan-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu. Additionally, 1.5 billion won has already been invested this year to conduct sewer pipe maintenance work on a 15 km section around Manseok Park, Gyeonggi-do Government Office, Haenggung-dong Administrative Office, and Woncheong Middle School, with work progress at 25%.
