Complete access to sewerage – sanitation
1.Access to sanitation facilities shall be universalized (100%) without any barriers of any cost/fee, land tenure etc., including urban poor settlements, unauthorized slums / colonies.
2.All properties/ holdings should be connected to sewerage system, even if they are not connected to a public/municipality water supply system.
3.Sewerage system need not be the only sanitation system for liquid waste. Hence, Onsite sanitation systems shall be adopted for less dense settlements.
4.Sewerage charges shall be levied on the basis of water consumed and in the water bill itself. In case of no water supply, alternative methods of billing shall be used.
5.Sewerage charges should also have an ‘energy’ surcharge/component, which shall be directly linked to the unit energy charges levied by the power utility.
6.In view of the higher polluting potential, sewerage charges should reflect full cost recovery for all sewerage O&M operations.
7.For on-site sanitation, periodic cleaning shall be ensured. ULB may provide the equipment at a fee and also for final disposal, depending on the type of on-site treatment involved.
8.Buildings may have double-stack plumbing system for separation of grey & black water.
9.On-site packaged treatment units may be used to treat grey water, black water or a combination, depending on the user choice. 10.Using a combination of on-site and off-site sewerage / sanitation systems for waste water / sewage, 100% treatment shall be ensured, for environmental protection and sustainability. 11.It is suggested that Sewage Management Rules, similar to Municipal Solid Waste (Management & Handling) Rules may be framed and notified under the EPA & Water Pollution Acts etc., in order to consolidate provisions under different Acts/Rules/Notifications and to focus attention on Sewage Management issues. Guidelines/Standards for Septage management and Reuse of Treated Wastewater have to be formulated.
● Recycle and reuse of wastewater
- In case of multi-storeyed constructions and gated communities, internal dual piping for toilet flushing shall be made mandatory. It shall also be mandated for high end users such as Hotels, Malls and Industries.
2. Such building communities and groups of housing implementing dual piping shall also ensure on-site treatment of waste water to the water reuse standards of the nation or as per international best practices till the national standards are developed.
