City has only one sewage plant: MCG’s RTI reply

Times of India: Gurgaon: Shilpi Arora: Friday, July 21, 2017.

An RTI response from the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) states that only one micro sewagetreatment plant (STP) has been set up in the city till now. The lone plant in the city treats 25 kilo litre sewage per day.

The MCG planned to install 56 STPs in the entire district, one in every village, in 2015.

"As of now, only one decentralised micro STP has been installed in front of ITI Lunch Park in Sector 14 for treating sewage water for irrigation purpose of this park. The quantity of the recycled water of this micro STP is 25 kilo litre per day," states the RTI response by MCG (a copy of which is with the TOI).

Currently, more than 200 million litre per day (MLD) of untreated water flows to the main Najafgarh drain that ultimately goes down into the Yamuna river. The city has three drains that are linked to the main drain.
