Guttahalu Mandya is a wastewater treatment plant located in Belluru, Mandya taluk, Karnataka, India. The facility serves a population of about 10,556 and is currently operational, contributing to the region's sanitation infrastructure. As a plant in India, it operates under the national regulatory framework, including the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment Protection Act, 1986. For a community of this size, secondary treatment is typically required to meet discharge standards set by the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board.

The Cauvery supports agriculture, drinking water supplies, and diverse aquatic ecosystems, making proper treatment essential for downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge likely enters a tributary of the Cauvery River, which flows through Karnataka and Tamil Nadu before emptying into the Bay of Bengal. The Cauvery basin supports a wide range of aquatic life and is a critical water source for irrigation and drinking. Protecting this river from nutrient pollution and pathogens is vital for the health of downstream communities and ecosystems.
