GOVERNMENT OF PUDUCHERRY

CHIEF SECRETARIAT (PUBLIC WORKS)

(G. O. Ms. No. 24, Puducherry, dated 18th March 2020)

NOTIFICATION

The Government of Puducherry, while implementing reforms as per guidelines of Jawaharlal Nehru

National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) Scheme, has fixed rates for the monthly sewerage tariff and

one time deposit charges for each connection to various categories of sewerage connections in Puducherry in

respect of two types of buildings viz., (1) Domestic/Residential Buildings and (2) Commercial Buildings,

vide G.O. Ms. No. 6, dated 13-02-2017 of the Chief Secretariat (Public Works), Puducherry.

2. Now, the Government of Puducherry hereby accords approval for the withdrawal of one time deposit

charges for new underground sewerage connection in respect of only the Domestic/Residential Buildings, for a

period of first six months from the date of publication of this notification in the Official Gazette, subject to

implementation of the following actionable points:

(i) Most of the households have individual toilets connected to septic tank and choke pit/disbursal

trench. The households are reluctant to connect the toilets directly to underground system, as it involves

financial investment, apart from demolishing the existing septic tank and choke pit. The request for

connecting choke pit into underground system can be considered.

(ii) In case of direct connection of household toilets to underground system, the existing septic tanks

may be used for rain water harvesting after due remediation.

(iii) All the private owned septic tank cleaning vehicles should be registered with concerned Local

Body Authorities. The operators should be instructed to discharge the septage fillings only into the Public

Works Department run STPs at free of cost. Such vehicles should be fitted with GPS system for monitoring

movements by Local Body Authorities. Public Works Department also should keep record of disposal of

septages at each STP.

(iv) A Joint Task Force team can be constituted with Officers of Local Bodies and Public Works

Department to carry out survey and to identify the households, industries and other establishments which

are yet to be connected to the underground sewerage system. The team will persuade the occupants to

effect connection at the earliest.

(v) The system of granting road cutting permission by Local Bodies and Public Works Department

should be simplified. After road cutting, Public Works Department should make the streets fit for traffic

by filling with quary dust as a temporary measure. The Local Bodies will make permanent restoration in

due course.

(vi) Households, industries, commercial establishments, etc., which discharge toilet septage directly

into public drains should be given a short notice to connect with underground drainage system. If, they

fail to do so, the Commissioners of Local Bodies should take action to plug the illegal drainage/sullage

let out points by invoking the powers under Municipal Laws.

(vii) The sullage water from households, industries, commercial establishments, etc., should invariably

be connected to underground drainage network system so as to keep the drain/canal free from sullage

and to make the city clean.

(viii) The Officers of Local Bodies and Public Works Department should regularly meet and sort out

the issues. The Superintending Engineer-Il, Public Works Department, will be overall in-charge to

achieve 100% connection of households, etc., to underground system.

3. There shall be no change in the one time deposit charges of sewerage connections in respect of

Commercial Buildings and the same shall be collected as fixed in the G.O. Ms. No. 6, dated 13-02-2017 of the

Chief Secretariat (Public Works), Puducherry.

4. There shall also be no change in the rates fixed towards monthly sewerage tariff vide the G.O. Ms.

No. 6, dated 13-02-2017 of the Chief Secretariat (Public Works), Puducherry and the same shall be collected

from all the existing and new sewerage connections in respect of both the Domestic/Residential Buildings and

the Commercial Buildings.

5. Further, the Local Bodies (Municipalities/Commune Panchayats) shall be involved in persuading

the consumers to get sewerage service connections and enforce the Puducherry Municipalities Act, 1973 for

ensuring that the consumers connect to the sewerage network for keeping the town/city/water bodies clean and

hygienic.

6.

This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Department vide I.D.No. 2370/FD/FC/F5/A1/2019-20,

dated 13-12-2019.

(By order)

G. KARTHIGESAN,
