A meeting chaired by Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Administrator Brigadier Khalid Tirmizi was held at DHA's main office to evaluate and approve the contours and design efficacy of a master plan for revamping and upgradation of entire sewerage system in DHA.
A DHA official said here on Monday that this was yet another major initiative being undertaken by DHA to improve the civic facilities in the area after successful completion of laying a modern storm water drainage system in DHA. It was pointed out that a private engineering and consultancy firm Technocrat.
The architect of the newly laid drainage system in DHA, has formulated an integrated master plan of sewerage system in DHA after detailed survey and study of the existing system.
The reinvigorated sewerage plan is based on utilising natural force of gravity for optimisation of sewage flows to reduce pumping dependence, multiple pumping and elimination of existing 17 pumping stations in DHA. The system envisages inter-linked network of sewerage lines culminating into main trunk sewers.
The DHA Administrator termed the designed sewerage system as an optimistic and futuristic plan for revamping the civic services in DHA. He directed formation of a committee of engineering experts to re-valuate and study the design parameters of the proposed plan and to submit a comprehensive report within a month.
The new sewerage plan would be approved by the competent authority before its implementation. The Administrator also directed the concerned departments to ensure repair and rehabilitation of any left over sewerage lines disrupted or damaged during the mammoth construction work of drainage system in DHA.
He also asked the engineering branch of DHA to initiate the project of carpeting and reconstruction of damaged/uprooted roads, while laying the storm water drainage system immediately provided all other civic facilities including sewerage had been laid there.
Cantonment Board Clifton (CEO) Chief Executive Officer Zeenat Ahmad, DHA engineer officers, project consultant's team, concerned staff of DHA and CBC attended the meeting.
