10MLD SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT
Situated on the banks of the river ‘Chite’, at the southern most part of Bethlehem Vengthlang, construction for the Sewage Treatment Plant has been completed and is in operation. The plant has the capacity to treat 100,000,000 liters of public wastes from households per day, using a vast expanse of Sewerage Pipelines networks. These pipes are connected to individual toilets and kitchens to maximize the collection of sewage and in turn minimize uncontrolled and reckless expulsion of sewage into the soil. Due to the hilly terrain of the city, the plant is capable of treating only part of the city (16 localities) as the network relies on gravitational flow of sewage.
