6.2.3 Sewerage Distribution Network<br />

A large network of sewers of length consisting of<br />

local and branch/main sewers covers the city.<br />

The city lacks basic adequate sanitation<br />

facilities. The treatment capacities being<br />

inadequate, result in discharge of untreated<br />

sewage into water bodies, particularly river<br />

Yamuna and other nallahs passing by the city.<br />

Majority of the lines are non-functional due to<br />

extensive silting.<br />

6.2.4 Sewage Treatment Plants<br />

Three Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) were built under Yamuna Action Plan Phase I. The<br />

STPs at Burhi ka Nagla (2.25 mld) and Peela Khar (10 mld) are made to perform beyond<br />

capacity, but still treat only 10% of the sewage they receive. Mean while, the Dhandupura<br />

STP (78 mld) remains under utilized. Besides effluent from these STPs do not conform to<br />

CPCB discharge standards. Please refer below figure for locations of STPs.<br />
