Chandigarh Expands Treated Wastewater Network to Double Usage by June

The Chandigarh UT administration has upgraded all sewage treatment plants to produce tertiary-treated water and is expanding a 165-km distribution network to supply this treated wastewater across the city. The project aims to nearly double treated water usage from 45 to 90 million litres per day by June 30, targeting parks, government offices, and large residential properties. Efforts also include addressing untreated wastewater from Faidan village by installing modular STPs and intercepting discharge points into local water bodies, as reported to the National Green Tribunal.
