DJB clears Rs 17,970 cr sewer overhaul, adopts ‘One Zone, One Operator’ model

New Delhi, Sep 30 (UNI) The Delhi Jal Board has given in-principle approval to a Rs 17,969.93-crore, 10-year programme to overhaul the city’s sewer network, with the government proposing a new “One Zone, One Operator” model to fix responsibility for maintenance and complaints, officials said on Wednesday.
Under the proposed system, Delhi will be divided into eight zones, with a single operator responsible for the entire sewer network in each zone, including sewer lines, manholes, pumping stations and complaint resolution, the government said.
The model will shift sewer maintenance from complaint-driven repairs to planned preventive work, with geo-tagged inspections, real-time monitoring through a central command centre and 100 per cent mechanical and robotic cleaning of sewers.
