Upgrade STPs, biogas plants in Delhi in 12 to 15 months: Satyendar Jain
Delhi Water Minister Satyendar Jain on Wednesday directed officials to use modern technology and upgrade all sewage treatment plants (STPs) and biogas plants in the city within 12 to 15 months.
In a meeting focused on upgrading all such plants of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), it was decided that ‘STP-treated water’ would be supplied to farmhouses in areas such as Satbari, Sultanpur and Jaunpur where groundwater is extracted for horticultural needs.
About the tariff model, the DJB has decided to charge Rs 5,000 per acre each month from the consumer apart from a one-time infrastructure cost of Rs 10,000 per acre, a statement said.
