City Sanitation Plan for Nashik - SuSanA

PART IV: Strategies and Action Plan
City Sanitation Plan for Nashik
3: River Pollution and storm water management
Pollution of Nashik’s rivers, especially Godavari, is the main issue of concern in this sector. To address this issue, NMC should initiate the following actions:
Conduct a Feasibility Study for upgrading STPs and exploring various options to treat up to tertiary levels, and commission waste to energy plants.
a) Constitute a multi-stakeholder council
comprising NMC, industrial areas, MPCB, and
other stakeholders with support from GoM to
oversee this program’s implementation.
b) c)
Compile, in collaboration with MIDC and MPCB,
information on wastewater flows into the river
particularly from the industrial areas.
Prepare a detailed project report on it.
Implement a time-bound phased investment program to develop / rehabilitate a storm drain network in the city.
The capital cost of implementing
the above actions is estimated at ` 45
crores during 2011 to 2016. In the
long term, the recycling of
wastewater and resell of water to
industries, SEZs, and such on a
revenue sharing basis can help in
saving potable water and
in turn the overall O&M cost.
