Chief Minister M.K. Stalin inaugurated a faecal sludge treatment plant set up by Aruppukottai Municipality at Sukkalanatham through video conferencing facility on Wednesday.
Collector J. Meghanath Reddy inspected the facility constructed at a cost of ₹ 4 crore. The facility that has come up on 1.273 acres and it can treat 40 kilolitres a day of faecal sludge.
He said that Aruppukottai Municipality, with 87,722 population on 14.96 sq. km, does not have underground drainage facility in all 36 wards. So, a septic tank sludge removed from houses, commercial and industrial units are illegally dumped in vacant places by septic tank lorries at night. The faecal sludge treatment plant will be a solution to this practice that ruins the environment.
