Villagers and activists oppose letting sewage upstream into the dam, which is a source of drinking water
The Mangaluru City Corporation (MCC) has decided to let out treated sewage from its Pachchanady secondary sewage treatment plant downstream to the Maravoor vented dam across Phalguni river instead of letting it into the stream that joins the river upstream. Mayor Premananda Shetty, who visited the plant at Pachchanady and the tertiary treatment plant at Pilikula on July 8, told The Hindu that of the 9 million litres per day (MLD) treated at Pachchanady, 6.5 MLD was taken by Dr. K. Shivarama Karantha Pilikula Nisargadhama for watering plants and other activities. The balance was let out to the Pachchanady stream that joins Phalguni upstream before the Maravoor vented dam.
