HMWSSB to set up STP at Neknampur to tackle sewage

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) is finally shifting gears to address the sewage influx in the Manikonda-Neknampur corridor. As part of this initiative, the Water Board is set to begin the construction of a new sewerage treatment plant (STP) at Neknampur.

The Neknampur STP is part of a larger initiative involving the proposed construction of 39 STPs



under the Central government’s Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT 2.0) scheme.

On Monday, during a site inspection, Managing Director, HMWS&SB, K Ashok Reddy stressed the importance of completing the project at the earliest. He directed officials to complete the soil testing work, which will pave the way for setting up a facility to properly process wastewater.
