Hyderabad Plans Sewerage Upgrades for Growth Areas
Hyderabad is planning to upgrade its sewerage system in areas like Nanakramguda and the Financial District because these places are growing fast.
The city's water and sewerage board is making a special plan to improve the pipes and treatment plants.
They want to make sure that sewage doesn't mix with rainwater, which could pollute the Musi River and nearby lakes.
They also want to use the treated water for things like watering golf courses and gardens.
The plan includes building new pipes, making treatment plants bigger, and even creating an app to monitor everything.
This will help keep the city clean and ready for the future.
HMWSSB is developing a mini-sewerage master plan for Hyderabad's growth areas like Nanakramguda and the Financial District.
The plan includes upgrading sewer lines, trunk mains, and sewage treatment plants (STPs) to meet future demands.
Officials are directed to ensure strict separation of sewage pipelines from storm water drains to prevent pollution.
Proposals include diverting sewage from Gachibowli and Kokapet to nearby STPs and enhancing the capacity of existing STPs.
A digital application is proposed to monitor sewage treatment data and operational statistics in real-time.
