Upgradation of the sewage treatment plant from 10 MGD (million gallons daily) to 15 MGD in Sector 83, from where the pipeline is to be laid, has been completed.
WD News: Residents of Mohali will soon get the facility of tertiary treated water for watering lawns as well as washing cars, with the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) all set to lay a pipeline for the supply to various parts of the city.
GMADA chief administrator Rajiv Kumar Gupta has said that the tertiary treated water project is likely to be completed by September 30.
