The Confederation of Real Estate Developers' Associations of India (CREDAI) Visakhapatnam chapter has called on civic authorities to adopt a centralised approach to sewage treatment infrastructure in Visakhapatnam, highlighting concerns about the operational efficiency and safety of dispersed treatment systems in large residential complexes. CREDAI's proposal recommends community-level centralised sewage treatment plants (STPs) managed by professional agencies, with residents contributing user fees to support ongoing operation and maintenance. The association argues that such centralised facilities would ensure more effective wastewater treatment, strengthen environmental compliance, and reduce the risk of untreated effluent release. The move comes at a time when Visakhapatnam's expanding urban footprint and uneven sewerage network underline the need for enhanced sanitation infrastructure as part of sustainable city development. CREDAI says robust wastewater management is crucial for long-term livability and public health in the city.Read more
