NEW DELHI: The Delhi Jal Board has decided to fix the water and sewerage development charges for the year 2011-12 at Rs.405 and Rs.455 per sq. metre respectively, for recovery from consumers.
The charges have to be paid by residents where the water and sewer lines have been laid recently or to be laid in the near future.
At a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Monday, the Jal Board approved the construction of a 9-MGD Sewage Treatment Plant including regulator on Ghazipur drain at Chilla Regulator along with pumping station and other appurtenant works on design, build and operate basis.
After construction of the plant, dirty water flowing in Ghazipur drain, currently falling into the drain passing through Sector 14 Noida, will be diverted to the plant and treated before being discharged into the drain.
The Board also approved of providing sewerage services in Urban Village Samaipur at an estimated cost of Rs.11,16,38,850. “It has been decided to connect the outfall in the existing 2.5 MGD Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) which is ultimately proposed to be connected with the Interceptor Sewer proposed to be laid along the supplementary drain and other big drains in Delhi,” the DJB said in a statement.
Approval for rehabilitation, operation and comprehensive maintenance for 10 years of the 40-MGD Phase-II of Rithala Sewage Treatment Plant at a cost of Rs.84.50 lakh was also given.

Raman Marg from Sukhdev Vihar via Escort Hospital to Ring Road Sewage Pumping Station in Delhi by CIPP technology at a total cost of Rs.5,25,00,000. This will provide relief to sewerage problems in New Friends Colony and adjoining areas.
