Introduction
● This plant was designed by BORDA and CDD Society, executed by Municipal Committee
of Leh (MCL) and Blue Water Company (BWC).
● Influx of tourists, modern habits and increasing popularity of flush toilets has led to
depletion and contamination of groundwater which is a major source for drinking
water for the city. Cities like Shimla have seen cholera outbreaks due to similar
pollution of the water bodies.
● A sewer system is under construction and in due course may only cover 40-50% of the
city which could be too little, too late. The plant was built to tackle prevailing FS mis-
management issue in Leh city.
● In May 2017, BORDA conceptualized a FSM system for the city that can complete the
sewerage system that is under development.
Turn-key PPP model: A public private partnership model was adopted to make the FSTP in
Leh with a five-year contract between Leh Municipal Committee (LMC), BORDA, CDD
Society and Blue Water Company (BWC).
