As per scientific standards, 17 interceptor structures have been constructed on slopes to prevent garbage and silt from entering the sewage system. A system has also been established to divert sewage water to the treatment centre at Bodhar. Similarly, a 3 MLD capacity decentralised sewage treatment plant has been constructed from Bandapur to Govardhan Ghat. A new sewage treatment facility with a 10 MLD capacity has also been set up at Chunal Nullah.

A 10-foot security grill has been installed between Old Mondha and Govardhan Ghat to prevent river pollution caused by Nirmalya and garbage. This will not only help keep the river clean but also enhance safety at the ghats.
Under the AMRUT 2.0 scheme and the State River Conservation Campaign, the municipal corporation has successfully prevented untreated wastewater from 22 major drains from directly entering the Godavari River. Instead, the wastewater is diverted to sewage treatment plants for proper treatment before discharge.
During the meeting, instructions were issued to increase the capacity of sewage treatment plants at Bondhar, Ilichpur, Sangvi and Dunkin, and to ensure they operate at full capacity. Directions were also given to carry out desilting and cleaning of all drains on a war footing ahead of the monsoon to prevent wastewater from entering the river.
