The area covered by the sewerage system is only 17 per cent
About 50 per cent of the sewerage system is not in working condition.
Mostly the sewage goes into the open drains.
The system is badly silted, choked and damaged at number of places and overloaded
due to the growth of population.
The STPs are made to perform beyond capacity, but still treat only 10% of the sewage
they receive.
Improper means of disposal of wastewater has also resulted in environmental pollution
and creates unhygienic conditions.
Treatment capacities being inadequate, results in discharge of untreated sewage into
water bodies, particularly river Yamuna and other nallahs.
The STPs at Dhandupura treats city sewer and discharge of 17 nallahs whereas STPs at
Pila Khar and Magla Budi treats only discharge coming from nallah water.
