Sewage Treatment Plants in the Apartments
The Government has resolved and directed the BWSSB to modify
the BangaloreSewerage Regulation, 1974 and directed the apartments with more
than 20 units on sites measuring 2000 square Meter of 21527 Square feet must
have to install STP units within the apartment complex.
Naturally, the apartment owners did not comply with it,
hence, the BWSSB extended the date.
The BWSSB has extended the date to install and run the STP
units within the housing or residential apartment complex to October 31, 2016,
but many of the associations are refusing to comply with the notification
stating that it is not possible and feasible, furthermore, they claim that
there is NO SPACE to build STP and demand that this rule must be only for NEW
PROPERTIES.
The truth is this:
Most of the 20+ apartment complexes does not have the
STATUTORY COMMECNEMENT CERTIFICATE AND DEFINITELY DOES NOT HAVE MANDATORY OCCUPANCY
CERTIFICATE.
Their BWSSB connection and BESCOM connection is based on the
original sanctioned plan, but the actual and physical construction is TOTALLY
DIFFERENT.
Many have `A` katha for the illegal structures!!! A PARADOX.
Due to abnormal illegality, irregularity, violation,
deviation and deliberate by law violation, there is no space left in most of
the apartment complexes and none of them wish to spend even a single rupee for
STP. All their dirt and sewage must be
treated by the Government and the Government lack both fiscal and technical
capabilities.
