At present, 48.33 percent area has been covered with sewage network serving 81.32% population. The sewage water is being treated as per the norms of Gujarat Pollution Control Board, in a 100 MLD capacity sewage treatment plant at Karanj and treated sewage is disposed off into the Karanj khadi. Untreated sewage from remaining areas, along with wastewater generated from the local small-scale industries is discharged into the Karanj Khadi through storm water drains. However, as per master plan, the sewage from the whole East Zone will be treated at the sewage treatment plant located at Karanj and proposed sewage treatment plant at Dindoli. The treated sewage will be disposed off into the Karanj/ Kankara Khadi.

According to the sewerage scheme of this zone, there will be a sewage treatment plant with an ultimate capacity of 150 MLD at Karanj and 98 MLD at Dindoli, seven sewage-pumping stations, a transmission line from each pumping station to the sewage treatment plant and a sewerage network of NP-3/ NP-4 class RCC pipes.

Sewerage Network

With a sewerage network of Navagam and the part area of Karanj, Fulpada and Umarwada, was covered during the year 1990-1995.The part-area of Fulpada has been covered during 1999/2000. A network in the Karanj, Kapadra, Fulpada, and Nana Varachha area was completed by end of 2001. The pipe laying work is under execution in rest of the east zone area, i.e. Magob, Puna, Sarthana.

The collected sewage in these two SPS is then transmitted to STP at Karanj.

Sewage Treatment Plant
