Karnataka Government has earmarked Rs 800 crore to set up 20 more Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) in Bangalore. Currently, the city has eleven STPs.
The state government intends to treat 700 mld sewage and supply it for non-domestic purposes at 50 per cent rates of drinking water. The work on the project is likely to begin by end-June 2009.
Besides, another Rs 300 crore project to replace old drinking water supply pipelines will be also taken up shortly in the city.
