Osan City to Develop 'Osaek Mineral Spring' along Osaek Dulle-gil Trail

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park Chan-hyeok] Osan City announced on the 13th that it will develop a 'Osaek Mineral Spring (tentative name)' at the entrance of the first neighborhood park in Segyo 2 District on Osaek Dulle-gil Course 1 for next year's residents of Segyo 2 District and visitors to the Osaek Dulle-gil trail.

The Osaek Dulle-gil trail is a commitment project of Mayor Lee Gwon-jae of the eighth popularly elected administration. By adding new sections to existing forest paths, it was completed last November as a 17km circular trail that loops around Osan City.

The Osaek Mineral Spring to be developed within the Osaek Dulle-gil trail will be located at the entrance of the first neighborhood park in Segyo 2 District (Path of Emptiness), which is within 1km from all apartments in Segyo 2 District, allowing residents to draw mineral water and return home after their walk along the trail.

The city is taking full measures to secure water quality and volume for the planned mineral spring. The city plans to begin location and water quality surveys for the mineral spring development by the end of this year and complete construction in the first half of next year.

Mayor Lee Gwon-jae said, “We anticipate that the Osaek Mineral Spring will attract a considerable number of Segyo 2 District users given its excellent accessibility,” and added, “It is expected to become an excellent mineral spring where residents of Segyo 2 District can take daily walks and enjoy fresh mineral water.”
