Vellore Corporation begins linking of sewer lines
The HinduThe Vellore Corporation has begun the interlinking of main sewer lines that were built as part of the Underground Drainage system. The corporation officials said that the interlinking of new household connections to completed sewer lines is being done to check any leakages in the pipelines before full operation of the drainage services. The multi-crore project, which was rolled out in 2019, especially from phase II work, comprises main sewer lines, pumping and lifting stations and sewage treatment plants, covering all 60 wards in its four zones. Divided into four phases, the project, which costs around ₹1,000 crore, covers 750 km of sewer lines, 16 pumping and lifting stations and two large STPs. Currently, phase II and phase III work is being done to cover remaining wards at a cost of ₹600 crore with sewer lines having been laid for around 800 km within civic body limits.
