Gimhae City in Gyeongnam Province will begin maintenance work on sewage pipelines in the Jangyu District that are over 20 years old.

The city announced on the 29th that it will allocate a total project budget of 29.6 billion won to renovate 14.4 km of deteriorated sewage pipelines and partially repair 298 locations across the Jangyu treatment zone—including Daecheong, Industrial Complex, and Yulha—as well as the Hwamok treatment zone, which includes Chilsan and Hoehyeon.

Of the pipelines scheduled for renovation, 10 km will undergo excavation and replacement of the deteriorated lines, while 3.5 km will receive comprehensive repairs.

Construction will commence this month and is planned to be completed by December 2029.

The city expects that this project will help prevent safety incidents such as leakage and ground subsidence (sinkholes) caused by aging pipelines, while also establishing a stable management system for its sewage facilities.

A city official stated, "We will systematically maintain the aging sewage pipelines in the Jangyu District to create a safe environment where residents can live with peace of mind. We will also do our utmost in field management and implement traffic measures to minimize inconvenience for citizens during the construction process."
