Minister launches 40 KLD faecal sludge treatment plant at Uppal
The State government is set to establish faecal sludge treatment plants (FSTPs) at 71 locations across Telangana apart from Hyderabad. Minister for Municipal Administration & Urban Development K.T. Rama Rao made an announcement to this effect on Saturday, after launching an FSTP at Uppal in Nalla Cheruvu. This plant, with a capacity to treat 40 kilo litres per day (KLD), was built by the Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) to recycle the faecal waste collected from septic tanks where underground sewerage facility is not available. Also flagging off a total 87 septic tank cleaning vehicles from Peoples’ Plaza of Necklace Road, Mr.Rama Rao said Hyderabad is ahead of other cities in the country in sewage treatment. After ruling out manual labour in sewerage cleaning works by introducing mechanisation, the Water Board has now crossed another milestone through the establishment of FSTPs, he said.
