KWA to re-tender 5 MLD STP as no bidder qualifies; Work begins on 27-km sewage pipeline in Kochi
The sewerage treatment project includes three components — an STP and two sewage pipeline networks of 27 km and 17 km
The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has decided not to proceed with the initial tendering process for its 5 MLD sewage treatment plant, as no qualifying bidders emerged. The company will instead issue a new work order for the 17-km sewerage pipeline network by the end of September. Work has already commenced on the 27-km sewage pipeline, a crucial component of the sewerage project that also includes a 17-km pipeline network.
The project, spread across Girinagar, Kadavanthra, and Panampilly Nagar in Kochi, is designed to cater to the sewage management needs of nearly 1,400 households for the next 30 years. The sewage treatment plant, along with two sewage pipeline networks, is estimated to cost ₹185 crore and is set to be completed within two years.
