According to the project, the existing waste line will be expanded to Chakka, Pettah, Perunthanni and Kadakampily, with a total length of 11.7 km. In addition, another project was launched to extend the line at the Attakal, Ambalathara and Kalady. Currently, it covers a drainage network in the city less than 50 out of a total of 101 departments.
The tertiary treatment plant, which will be established together with the existing wastewater treatment plant in Muttathara, will be used for further cleaning of the treated water to be repeatedly usable for industrial purposes.
