• Promote overall public infrastructures, i.e., Sewerage Network and Sewage Treatment Plant for wastewater management to treat the wastewater generated by the Purbachal New Town Project

• Establish a network of sewerage pipelines to collect and transport the wastewater to the treatment plant

• Develop a comprehensive plan for the efficient and sustainable operation and maintenance of the wastewater treatment plant and sewerage pipelines

• Implement an effective system for monitoring and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and standards

• Promote social and economic development by providing essential services such as potable water, sewage treatment, and associated infrastructure to support residential, commercial, administrative, educational, and social activities in Purbachal New Town.

Status:
