Kaohsiung has completed major flood prevention upgrades in the city's Hunei District ... as part of ongoing city-wide efforts.
The project included a renovated drainage line and the construction of a new pumping station, which local officials say have already helped protect flood-prone areas during heavy rain.
Residents say they hope the improvements will reduce future typhoon damage.
The city began the work in April 2023, installing over one kilometer of new sewer infrastructure.
DPP lawmaker Qiu Zhi-wei (邱志偉) helped secure central government funding for the project.
He noted that rising material costs posed challenges but expressed hope the improvements will bring long-term benefits to the community.
