Suwon Completes 'Hwangguji Stream Ecological Water Resources Center'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-seong] Suwon held a completion ceremony on the 7th for the ‘Hwangguji Stream Ecological Water Resources Center’.

The Hwangguji Stream Ecological Water Resources Center, built in the area of 205 Homaesilkil-dong, Gwonseon-gu, consists of a public sewage treatment facility and sports and amenity facilities.

The public sewage treatment facility built underground spans an area of 77,705 ㎡ with a daily processing capacity of 45,000 tons. It employs membrane filtration technology that filters water similar to a water purifier filter.

Above the public sewage treatment facility, the city has created soccer fields, baseball fields, water play areas, walking paths, lawn plazas, and outdoor stages for public use.

The Hwangguji Stream public sewage treatment project, based on the 'Sewerage System Improvement Master Plan,' secures capacity to purify domestic wastewater generated in the upper reaches of Hwangguji Stream in accordance with effluent quality standards. The project began in April 2020 and was completed at the end of last year. The upper-level sports and amenity facility construction project began in February last year and was completed in February of this year.

The completion ceremony was attended by Suwon Mayor Lee Jae-joon, Vice Chair Kim Jung-ryeol of the Suwon City Council and council members, Lawmaker Baek Hye-ryeon (Suwon District 3), and nearby residents.

Mayor Lee Jae-joon said, “I would like to thank the residents of Homaesilkil-dong for patiently waiting throughout this project and the related staff for safely completing the construction,” and added, “We will manage Hwangguji Stream well so that it becomes a river that embraces nature and the future of western Suwon.”
