Greater Noida “Har Ghar sewer connection”

“We will first provide sewer connection in villages where sewer pipes have been laid and connected with the main sewer line. Following this, we will connect each house in every village that falls under the jurisdiction of the authority,” Salil Yadav, in-charge general manager, of Greater Noida authority, said.

Greater Noida is built from the land taken from 124 villages, out of which 36 have been given with sewer lines. “The authority has fixed a deadline of one and half years to lay pipelines and connect them with the main sewer line. The objective is to trap, treat and recycle sewer waste so that it does not flow into the Hindon and Yamuna,” Yadav added.
