Sewage Farm Lawspet Puducherry - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Ozhukarai Taluk, India

Sewage Farm Lawspet Puducherry is an operational wastewater treatment plant located in Ozhukarai Taluk, Puducherry, India. The facility serves a population of approximately 16,703, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under Indian urban wastewater management frameworks. As a plant in India, it operates under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and is subject to standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 million liters per day. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Bay of Bengal, given its proximity to the coast. The region's aquatic ecosystems depend on proper wastewater management to prevent nutrient loading and maintain water quality in coastal and estuarine environments.

The plant is located in Puducherry, a coastal union territory on the Bay of Bengal. Treated wastewater from the facility likely flows into local streams or canals that eventually reach the Bay of Bengal, a marine ecosystem supporting diverse aquatic life including fisheries and mangroves. The coastal waters are ecologically sensitive, and nutrient inputs from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication if not adequately treated.
