CIDCO STP Near Airport is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar (formerly Aurangabad), Maharashtra, India. The plant serves a population of approximately 43,428, placing it in the medium-agglomeration category under Indian urban wastewater management frameworks. As an operational facility, the plant is part of India's growing wastewater treatment infrastructure, which is regulated under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment Protection Act, 1986. For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, and the plant's design and operation align with national standards for sewage treatment. The plant's treated effluent is likely discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Godavari River basin, which ultimately flows into the Bay of Bengal. This downstream connection underscores the plant's role in protecting freshwater resources and downstream ecosystems from untreated sewage pollution.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Godavari River basin, one of India's largest river systems, which drains into the Bay of Bengal. The region experiences a semi-arid climate, and local water bodies are critical for agriculture and domestic use. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads, safeguarding downstream aquatic habitats and supporting biodiversity in the Godavari delta.
