Nesapakkam c Wastewater Treatment Plant, Chennai Corporation, Tamil Nadu

Nesapakkam c is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Kodambakkam zone of Chennai Corporation, Tamil Nadu, India. It serves a population of 153,668 and is part of the city's municipal wastewater infrastructure managed by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB). The plant is operational and plays a key role in treating sewage from the densely populated urban area. As a plant serving a large agglomeration (over 150,000 people), it falls under India's environmental regulations, which mandate secondary treatment for such facilities. The designed capacity is 1.00 million liters per day, indicating the plant's scale. The plant is expected to meet national discharge standards for inland or coastal waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Bay of Bengal, given its proximity to the coast. This makes proper treatment critical to prevent pollution of coastal ecosystems and protect public health in the Chennai metropolitan region.

The plant is located in Chennai, a coastal city on the Bay of Bengal. Treated wastewater from the plant likely flows into local waterways such as the Cooum River or Adyar River, which ultimately discharge into the Bay of Bengal. The coastal waters support diverse marine life and are important for fisheries and tourism. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient loading and contamination of these sensitive coastal ecosystems.
