treats around 20 million litres of sewage each day. |
Coimbatore Corporation has drawn up a plan to
operate the 40 MLD (million litres per day) sewage treatment plant (STP) at
Nanjundapuram at its full capacity by connecting households and commercial
establishments in nearby areas that are yet to be linked to the underground
sewer network.
According to corporation officials, the
proposal also involves replacing the existing treated water outlet pipeline to
manage the anticipated increase in sewage flow. At present, the plant treats
only about 20 MLD if sewage per day-half of its capacity-due to limited inflow.
Treated water Is discharged into the noyyal through a 780-metre-long pipeline
with a diameter of 600mm.
