Nashik civic body gets state's nod for 227cr sewage project
Nashik: The civic body received state govt's nod to begin works for a Rs227 crore sewage project at a state-level meeting in Mumbai on Monday.
The state-level technical committee gave its approval to the sewage project of Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) under which sewerage lines with a total length of 80km are to be laid down in different parts of the city.
The project will be funded under central govt's Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) scheme.
While state govt will provide 25% of the total funds, Centre too will contribute 25%. NMC will spend the remaining 50% of the project cost on its own.
Superintending Engineer (Water & Sewage Management) of NMC Ravindra Dharanakar said: "Now we will prepare the tender document for the project, which will be sent again to state govt for approval. After this, we will float the tender for the project. This will take around a couple of months."
The sewerage lines are to be laid in all six divisions of NMC. Some of the existing old sewerage lines will be replaced with new ones.
