Project Brief on

Underground Sewerage System

In Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation Area
The city presently generates approximately 100 MLD of sewage (assuming that
80% of the water supply goes into the sewage).
Like most of the old towns in the country, Bhiwandi also had dry toilet system. In
keeping with the Governmental Policies (Bhangi Mukti Yojana), these were
gradually phased out and an underground sewerage system was conceived in
1962-63 to cater to the then existing population of 50,000 and a design population
of 1,00,000.
The present sewerage system consists of (refer Map no. 6):
Closed Drains Mostly limited to the central parts of the city.
Open Drains (Nallahs) & Sewers
Sewage Pumping Stations
Sewage Treatment Plant
1.1.1. Sewerage System
Immediately after independence, Government. of India decided to abolish
basket type latrines and liberation of scavengers (Bhangi Mukti Yojana) of
priority basis throughout the country. As per the decision taken by the
Government. of India, Government. of Maharashtra state had prepared a
scheme to convert all Basket type latrines into pit type /flush type latrines
throughout the state.
Accordingly the phase-I of the underground drainage scheme was planned &
designed in the year 1962-63 for a population of 50,000 souls & ultimate
population of 1,00,000 souls.
Initially under phase-I, no treatment plant was designed to treat effluent
generated with in the town. Only natural ponds (oxidation ponds) were
designed to make sedimentation process of solid particles presents in the
initial effluent collected and after completion of sedimentation process, final
effluent was to be used by the nearby villagers for the agriculture purpose.
After completion of the scheme, villagers had resisted to store initial effluent
into oxidation ponds for treatment and hence, as an alternate solution it was
decided to discharge whole effluent into the creek.
Later on in the year 1979-80 the government of Maharashtra prepared a
scheme to cover remaining part of the Bhiwandi town as well as to treat the
effluent collected by the old scheme with the financial assistance of the World
Bank. This was called as the M.W.S.S.B. Stage I.

The scheme consist of Trunks main, laterals, property connections & house
connections to collect the effluent generated throughout the town and convey
it to the pumping stations. Under this scheme two pumping stations and one
sewage treatment plant (17.5 M.L.D. capacity) were designed (Refer Map
No. 7).
The work of underground sewerage system was taken up by the Maharashtra
Water & Sewerage Board. The actual work started in the year 1983-84 and
was completed in the year 1997. This scheme was operated and maintained
by the M.W.S.S.B. till 2002. Later on it was transferred to and maintained by
the municipal corporation.
As per the above scheme, 25% of the Municipal area is now covered by the
underground sewerage system. It is now decided to cover the entire area of
the city under the underground sewerage system, DPR for which has already
been prepared.
1.1.2. Estimated Sewage Generation
The estimated sewage generation for the year 2030 has been calculated
assuming that 80% of the water supplied would form the sewage (Refer
Table 5.1).

Comparison of
Centralized & Decentralized Sewerage Collection & Treatment
Centralized System:

Huge Land Requirement

Depths of sewers is more
Large amount of Dewatering & shoring shall be as required as MBMC area being very
close to sea general water level is more.
Diameters of sewers is large
Number pumping station required are more
Energy / power requirement for pumping & Treatment is more
There is no use to treated affluent / water
Overall project cost shall be more due to
Huge land requirement
Large diameter of pipes
More depth of sewer lines the
More dewatering is required
More depth of manholes
Greater power requirement for pumping of sewerage
Greater power requirement for treatment

What we recommend is the latest concept of Eco sanitation which constitutes of Decentralized
System.

Decentralized System :The entire city is divided into the small areas known as sewerage district based on
the
1.
2.
3.
4.

Population density
Topography
Availability of land for STP
Demand for recycled water.

Each sewerage district serves as independent modules that have their own collection,
Conveyance & Treatment Facilities. Since the System serves less population & has less
capacity every thing smaller is required i.e
Miniscule land requirement
Smaller diameter of pipes
Less depth of sewer lines
Less dewatering is required
Less depth of manholes
Lower power requirement for pumping of sewerage
Lower power requirement for treatment

The Material requirement of Pipes & Type of STP can also be matched with sewer characteristics
of that particular area. The Greatest advantage of the Decentralized sewer System is the
utilization of the recycled water in the locality itself for activities other than personal Hygiene i.e.
for Gardening & flushing purposes.
The corporation can use this recycled water in Public Gardens & Public Toilets & sell the recycled
water to housing societies at discounted rates. This shall result in the overall reduction of water
demand of the city, thus saving precious revenue of the corporation.

Project Brief on
Water Supply
In Bhiwandi Nizampur City Municipal Corporation Area
Bhiwandi-Nizampur City Municipal Corporation Area comes under zone III (Refer
10.4.1, page 243 of the Regional Plan for Mumbai Metropolitan Region 1991-2011)
of Mumbai the Metropolitan region, which is divided into six zones for the purpose
of Planning water resources and hydrometric study.
The limited water sources and the high population growth majorly because of
heavy migration from all parts of country due to the work opportunities offered by
the city has widened the present demand-supply gap.
1.1.3. Sources of Water supply to Bhiwandi-Nizampur
The source of safe, potable drinking water for Bhiwandi Nizampur areas can
be categorized as:
1. Piped Distribution System
2. Natural sources & Open Wells
3. Bore Wells & Hand Pumps
Of the above, piped water is the most important source of potable water in
the city. The piped water supply is available to 90% of the population,
whereas, about 10% population, especially in the fringe areas is dependent
on natural wells and bore wells.
Presently, the city water requirement is approximately 125 MLD, which is
estimated to increase to 175 MLD by the year 2011 and 295 MLD by year
2026.
1. Piped Water Supply
The city receives a total supply of 112 MLD from various sources out of which
about 35 MLD comes from Tansa and Vaitarna mains of the Bombay
Municipal Corporation, 3 MLD from Varhala Lake and balance 74 MLD from
the Shahad Temghar water works (refer table 5.1). Thus the total water
supply comes to approximately 120 litres per capita per day (considering
unavoidable physical losses to be 20%).

The total length of the pipelines of various diameters is approx. 250

kilometers. The average water supply duration in the city is 12 hrs. The
diameters of the pipelines vary from 80 mm to 600 mm. The city has 14
storage reservoirs of various capacities for storage and distribution of water
(Refer Table 5.2).
The list and capacities of these reservoirs is given below

The corporation provides water at a subsidized rate to most of the

domestic users. The consumers are charged on a flat yearly basis depending
on the diameter of the connection.
2. Other Sources of Water
There are about 350 open wells in the city, public as well as private and more
than 1,517 bore wells, fitted with jet pumps and submersible pumps for
providing water to the areas not catered to by the piped water supply. In
addition, the BNCMC Corporation also operates 9 tankers for providing water
to the various localities, especially in the summer season.

1.1.4. Water Quality Presence of coli forms in certain localities and absence or shortage of
residual chlorine was found in Municipal tap water in some of the localities
which indicates that the quality of water is much below the desired limits.
1.1.5. Water Demand Projections
As per the present water supply the city receives 112 MLD water from various
sources (refer table 5.1). This includes the unavoidable water losses which
are roughly considered to be 20%. This decreases the amount of water
supplied which approximately is 120 liters per capita per day. The water
requirement of the city is 125MLD. The city faces water shortage problem as
is evident above.

1.1.6. Demand Supply Gap

The recent demand-supply gap analysis for the city shows that there is a gap
of more than 16 MLD, as compared to the existing demand for water which is
estimated to be 128 MLD. This gap is set to increase over years. The position
of supply and demand gap for the BNCMC is shown in figure 5-1 below.

Source Environmental Status Report Bhiwandi- Nizampur area (200405)

Figure 5-1: Water demand-supply gap

1.1.7. Deficiencies in the present system

1. Source of supply i.e. available water is inadequate (112 MLD) as
against present (2005) requirement of about 125 MLD.
2. The storage capacities of service reservoirs are inadequate, i.e.,
only 16% of available water. Due to above, service reservoirs are
being bypassed creating further imbalance in distribution as well
as in transmission system.
3. Newly developing areas like Azadnagar, Sathenagar,
Gayatrinagar, New Chavindra in the citys fringes do not have a
distribution network. Hence, these areas face water scarcity.
4. There are also few areas like Pogaon, Temghar village,
Bhadwad village where no improvement works have been taken
up so far. These localities do not have a distribution network at
present as they were not included in BNCMC area when
MWSSP, Stage-I scheme was implemented.
5. Some of the areas developed at high elevations e.g. Narpoli,
Sathenagar, Nehru Nagar, are being supplied from reservoirs,
having lower operating levels, resulting in very poor water
supply, occasionally once in two/three days, in some areas.
6. Large number of leakages and wastage are observed due to use
of inferior pipe material, damages due to improper methodology
while giving house connections and lack of maintenance, and
hence, in such cases these pipes will have to be replaced.
7. Possibility of unauthorized connections can not be ruled out in
many cases and there is a lack of properly laid distribution
system particularly in the villages merged into BNCMC latter.

1.1.8. Future sources of water

Alarmed at this huge deficit, the BNCMC has been making representations to the
government and planning for the increased demand. The planned sources of
water over next twenty years are given in table below.
