Singanallur sewage treatment plant to be completed by June, addressing pollution in the Singanallur tank and water hyacinth issue.
The civic body proposes to complete the works in respect of the Singanallur sewage treatment plant (STP) by June.
It may be recalled that sewage was polluting the Singanallur tank and the Corporation’s several lakhs worth boating project was shelved because of the pollutants in the water body. Above all, water hyacinth also posed a major problem. Singanallur tank is fed by Noyyal and Sanganur canals and both are extremely polluted. From Noyyal, the water flows through the canal and reaches Sulur tank.
To tide over this, the Corporation has started constructing a sewage treatment plant along the Tiruchi Road in Singanallur in last June and with 95% of the works over, only the machinery that is procured from Bengaluru needs to fixed. Once that it is done, the STP can treat two million litres of water per day.
Corporation sources said that the machinery fitting exercise had commenced and the plant is expected to be commissioned in June.
