The much delayed sewage treatment plant proposed at Ondipudur near Coimbatore as part of
the ongoing under ground drainage system overseen by the Coimbatore city municipal
corporation will eventually be realised. The civic body is expected to
complete the exercise of land acquisition from private land holders and
has so far acquired about 13 acres of land. The documentation of about
one acre of land is expected to be completed soon, out of the total 14.4
acre of land identified to set up the plant. The delay in documentation
is due to some internal dispute among private land owners who have
already given their consent in principal to hand over the property to
the civic body.
This project is most needed one for the save Noyyal river, Because more than15 lakhs people discharge the waste water into the Noyyal river with out treated. Government must take action in time.
