MPCB directs PCMC to improve Kudalwadi STP functioning

Hindustan Times  

The Maharashtra Pollution Control Board in a surprise visit to the Kudalwadi Sewage Treatment Plant on June 27 found a disparity in the plant’s functioning. With the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation having installed this STP to treat sewage water in the area, the MPCB has now instructed the PCMC to improve functioning of the plant. After receiving a tip-off about functioning of the Kudalwadi STP, a MPCB team including regional officer Ravindra Andhale; sub-regional officer for Pimpri-Chinchwad; and field officer made a surprise visit to the STP plant on June 27. The team also observed that the PCMC has not provided adequate power supply to the STP, and during power cuts, the untreated sewage flows continuously into the Indrayani River. During our recent visit to the Kudalwadi plant, we observed that sewage water is not treated properly and the corporation has not provided any power supply to the STP.” The MPCB has issued a show-cause notice to the PCMC commissioner and asked the corporation to make provision for adequate power supply to the plant, Andhale said.
