Rivers, groundwater under threat as STPs in societies fall into disuse in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad
In Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, the health of local rivers is increasingly threatened by inadequate sewage treatment facilities, leading to serious public health concerns. Residents have reported alarming instances of water contamination, including the presence of bloodworms in drinking water, highlighting the urgent need for effective sewage management. Many housing societies are struggling with untreated wastewater, which not only affects their water supply but also poses risks to community health. Despite some efforts to utilize treated water for gardening and other non-potable uses, the lack of awareness and accountability regarding sewage treatment remains a significant barrier to improving water quality in the region. As urban development continues, ensuring access to clean water and proper waste management is becoming an essential priority for both citizens and local authorities.
