Recycling: WASA to set up wastewater power station
Projected cost of the station is Rs1.5 -2 million.
FAISALABAD:
The Water and Sanitation Agency (WASA) has decided to set up a 40 kilowatt hydroelectric power station at Chakera, Managing Director Syed Zahid Aziz said on Thursday.
He said the project would help keep Wasa’s sewerage and water supply system operational during load shedding hours by the Faisalabad Electric Power Company (FESCO).
He said eventually 34 such stations would be set up in Faisalabad.
Aziz said experts of the Water and Sanitation Agency had prepared an initial report for the Chakera hydroelectric power station and District Coordination Officer Najam Ahmad Shah had granted permission to start the work.
“Experts from Lahore will visit Chakera disposal station next Tuesday,” he said.
Projected cost of the station, he said, was Rs1.5 -2 million.
“Physical work on the project will start during the last quarter of the current year... 50 cusecs out of the 100 cusecs waste water from Chakera disposal station will be used to run the station,” the managing director added.
