Overview
- The board’s managing director inspected the lake and directed teams to identify every inflow route and prepare a comprehensive flow map within days.
- Field inspections of storm drains, sewage flows, existing sewage-treatment plants and rainwater channels have begun as part of the initial assessment.
- HMWS&SB has commissioned a feasibility study to intercept incoming sewage with a dedicated pipeline that would divert waste to adjacent STPs for treatment.
- Officials ordered a survey of private STPs in hotels, commercial and residential complexes and proposed installing flow meters and continuous discharge monitoring to ensure only treated water is released.
- There is currently no completed quantitative estimate of how much sewage is reaching the lake, so planned pipeline work, trunk-main design and monitoring remain in the planning and feasibility stage before any construction or enforcement actions.
