భీమవరం పురపాలక సంఘం

CSP Status Assessment Report: A City Sanitation Plan (CSP) should include baseline information related
to sanitation and sanitation related services in the city. A status report is a document comprising of current
situation of service provision in a city. Thorough analysis of baseline data in the status report and thereby
identification of gaps & key issues is captured in the Status Assessment Report. Various standards /
benchmarks (CPHEEO Manual, IS codes, Service Level Benchmarks, Best Practices and etc.) should be
referred for concrete identification of gaps & issues.
The Status Assessment Report is a prerequisite for preparation of a CSP. The key gaps & issues identified in
the Status Assessment Report form the background for identifying appropriate solutions / recommendation in
a good CSP.
This ‘Template for preparation of CSP Status Assessment Report’ would help the ULBs in analyzing the
current gaps & issues related to sanitation sector in a simplified and structure manner. Various formats /
tables have been provided in this template, for analyzing the gaps & issues in each sector in a simplified
manner. However, the formats / tables provided in the template can be modified to as per city requirements.

1 Introduction and Background

The National Urban sanitation Policy launched during 2008 envisages “All Indian cities and towns become totally
sanitized, healthy and livable and ensure and sustain good public health and environmental outcomes for all their
citizens with a special focus on hygienic and affordable sanitation facilities for the urban poor and women”.
The overall goal of National policy is to transform Urban India into community-driven, totally sanitized, healthy and
livable cities and towns. Specific goals include:
A. Awareness Generation and Behavior Change,

B. Open Defecation Free Cities,
C. Integrated Town-Wide Sanitation,

2 City Sanitation Task Force (CSTF)

The City Sanitation Plan (CSP) is aimed at developing and maintaining a clean, safe and pleasant physical environment
in Bhimavaram town to promote social, economic and physical well-being of all sections of the population. It
encompasses plan of action for achieving 100% sanitation in the town of Bhimavaram through demand generation
and awareness campaign, sustainable technology selection, construction and maintenance of sanitary infrastructure,
provision of services, O&M issues, institutional roles and responsibilities, public education, community and individual
action, regulation and legislation.
To tackle the above challenges and to accord thrust to sanitation as a priority area, the Government of India (GoI)
launched the National Urban Sanitation Policy (NUSP) in 2008. The NUSP articulates the resolve of GoI to achieve
United Nations Millennium Development Goals specifically, MDG 7 pertaining to secure ecological sustainability
and MDGs 4, 5 and 6, pertaining to health and hygienic conditions of the poor and women. In particular, the NUSP
 Envisions that all Indian cities and towns should become totally sanitized, healthy and livable and ensure
and sustain good public health and environmental outcomes for all their citizens with a special focus on
hygienic and affordable sanitation facilities for urban poor and women.
 Identifies a) poor awareness, b) social and occupational aspects of sanitation, c) fragmented institutional
6|Page
roles and responsibilities, d) lack of integrated town-wide sanitation approaches, e) limited technology
choices, f) reaching the un-served and poor and g) lack of demand responsiveness as the key policy issues
to be tackled and aims to transform urban India into community-driven, totally sanitized, healthy and
livable cities/towns through achieving:
The principal components of town-wide approach include:
(a) Collection and sanitary disposal of wastes, including solid wastes, liquid wastes, industrial wastes, clinical and
other hazardous wastes;
(b) Storm water drainage;

(c) Cleansing of thoroughfares, markets and other public places;
(d) Environmental sanitation education;
(e) Inspection and enforcement of sanitary regulations;
(f) Monitoring the observance of environmental standards.
NATIONAL URBAN SANITATION POLICY (NUSP)

The Vision of the NUSP is:
All Indian cities and towns become totally sanitized, healthy and livable; and ensure and sustain good
public health and environmental outcomes for all their citizens with a special focus on hygienic and
affordable sanitation facilities for the urban poor and women.
To transform Urban India into community-driven, totally sanitized, healthy and livable cities and
towns, the policy sets out the following goals:
A. AWARENESS GENERATION AND BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
B. OPEN DEFECATION FREE CITIES
C. INTEGRATED TOWN-WIDE SANITATION
1. Re-orienting Institutions and Mainstreaming Sanitation
7|Page
2. Sanitary and safe disposal: 100% of human excreta and liquid wastes must be disposed of safely
3. Proper Operations and maintenance (O&M) of all sanitary installations
The policy envisages the preparation of State Sanitation Strategies within the overall National Policy
framework. In turn, cities are expected to prepare their town-wide sanitation plans that need to be
prepared in a consultative and participatory manner, and using an incremental approach to
addressing the issue of sanitation in a comprehensive town-wide manner.

Terms of reference for Town Sanitation Task Force (CSTF) Town Sanitation Plan:
The Town Sanitation Plan is a main planning tool at local level to provide a strategic framework for achieving the
goals of the National Urban Sanitation Policy and to formulate a town-wise sanitation vision. The CSP is
comprehensive document, which details out the short, medium and long term vision for issues related to
Governance, Technical, Financial, Capacity Building, Awareness and Pro poor interventions to ensure 100% access to
safe sanitation
The CSP will need to be prepared keeping in view what the town can afford and finance. It will be better as far as
possible to improve the effectiveness of existing facilities before embarking on expensive new investments. Further,
thinking about the whole town, and not just some portions or just some facilities, will be necessary to achieve the
goals in a comprehensive and systematic manner.
The Town Sanitation Plans (CSP) must be prepared and presented by the Implementing Agency/ ULB and presented
to the Task Force for approval. While the exact contents of the CSP may vary depending on the local situation, the
following aspects are to be covered:
 Plan for Development of Institutions / Organizations responsible for sanitation, and their roles and
responsibilities;
 Plan for ensuring 100% Sanitation Access to different socio-economic groups, and related O&M systems
(including improving existing systems, supplementary facilities, O&M Management contracts using PPP
and community management, etc.);
 Costs and tariffs for service provision;
 The issue of collection of dues needs to be emphasized as a means of ensuring accountability as well as
financial sustainability

Gaps &Issues
 With the growth of the town, availability of raw water and creation of higher Capacity / allocation and
adjoining areas should be dealt with on priority. Further, it is also observed that the existing water
supply system suffers from various legacy problems including reduced carrying Capacity of the
primary transmission system, poor operating efficiency of the distribution system, high percentage of
losses and non-revenue water.As such, the supply of water in general has been inadequate.
 Because good sanitation is directly linked to a minimum availability of water, this is area of immediate
concern and should be tackled on priority. There appears to be a case for preparing a master plan
and Detailed Project Report for water supply.
Water demand forecasting – There are the existing distribution is very old in the old town area and need
remodeling. The distribution is not up to the satisfaction of the citizen of Bhimavaram. The Existing total length
of distribution system is about 116.74 Km out of which are considered in the distribution system design and
47.10 KM are discarded due to old age pipes, prone for contamination and cause for low head, and about the
total length of Proposed distribution system is about 189.64 Kms. These distribution & storage facilities cannot
meet with the future demand of water.

5.1.2 Main issues of Access to toilets:

1. Inadequacy of land for construction.
2. Lack of awareness in public.
3. Poor maintenance of existing community toilets.
Examples for issues:
- Most of the households in the Municipality have toilets connected to individual septic tank and the
effluent from septic tanks is discharged to the Storm Water Drains. However, in many areas, sullage
and human wastes are directly let into Storm Water Drain, which carry considerable flows
throughout the year.

6.Waste-water Management
Waste-water disposal arrangements – Herein the ULB identifies gaps& issues with respect to waste-water
disposal arrangements for toilets according to the following table:

Sanitation Flow Diagram (SFD) –
A Sanitation (or Shit) Flow diagram presents a clear picture of how excreta flows are managed within the city.
The diagram clearly depicts how excreta flows from user interface to the final disposal. It has the following
stages:
1) Containment
 In the periphery of the city, with Low-income groups mostly lined pits with open bottom were observed,
which have an effluent pipe connected to the Open Drains
 For the construction of the lined tanks, the rings are first hard-pressed into the pit and then the concrete
solution is poured to seal the bottom
 While in the center of the city from middle to high-income group households have lined tanks with the
closed bottom with an outlet connected to open drains or septic tanks connected to open drains. This
difference is mainly due to the presence of borewell, where it was recorded that such practice has been
taken up in order to avoid the page of black water into the ground water. Most households use
groundwater for washing purpose
50 | P a g e
Figure 7 Sanitation flow Diagram Prepared by CSE team after Field Study Shows the containment of effluent iss 100% unsafely managed
51 | P a g e
 In case of septic tanks, a rectangular pit is dug and then in-situ construction of the septic tank is carried
out. Baffle walls are provided in the septic tank as per the availability of area; in case of space
constraint a fully lined tank with outlet connected to open drain is constructed
 In case of apartment buildings ranging from 4 floors, baffle walls are provided in the septic tanks
 Types of on-site containments observed during field visit: -
 Lined pit with open bottom with effluent pipe connected to open drain (33% population)
 Lined pit with open bottom without outlet (33% population)
 Septic tanks connected to open drains (33% population)
Figure 8: Cast Rings
52 | P a g e
Figure 9: Lined pit with semi permeable walls and open bottom without outlet or overflow
2) Emptying & Transportation

 Emptying of the containment systems in the city takes place using private vacuum tankers. Private
emptiers are solely responsible for the emptying services. There are a total of 6 private operators and 7
vehicles operating in the city
 All the suction machines are truck mounted. The capacity of each vaccum tank is 5000 litres.
 The emptiers advertise and market their services using beguiling wall paintings, hoardings and
distribution of visiting cards. These cleaners operate within the city as well in neighboring towns
charging 2500/trip within the city, while 3000/trip outside the city
 Assembly of these vehicles takes place at Rajahmundry, with an average age of vehicle being 2-5 years
 On a peak day, these private emptiers get about 7-8 trips per day, with an average of 1 hour dedicated to
one trip
 The emptying is usually carried out by 3 people (1 driver + 2 laborers)
53 | P a g e
 Emptying frequency ranges from 3 months to 2 year for lined tank with semi-permeable walls and
bottom or closed bottom with or without outlet. Emptying frequency for septic tanks is 7 to 10 years
 SN from 25 % population (16% from septic tanks and 9% from lined tank with open bottom and outlet)
 FS from 45% population, is not contained but emptied (15% from lined pit with open bottom, 15% from
septic tanks and 15% from lined tanks with open bottom and outlet)
 FS from 29% population is not contained and not emptied (24% infiltration and 5% FS remains in the
tank)
Figure 10: Private Vacuum Tanker
Figure 11: Advertisement of vacuum tankers to call for emptying service
54 | P a g e
3) Treatment and Disposal

 The collected septage from households by private emptiers and the sewage generated in the city is
disposed at Yenamadarru Drain
 The sewage flows in 30-35 km long drain, and meets Kolleru Drain at Upputeru Village
 The Yenamadaru drain was basically a fresh water canal, which is polluted by the paper mills and others
micro and small medium enterprises 10-30 km upstream
Figure 12: Containment outlet connected to open drain
55 | P a g e
Goals
Short term goals
 Recognize the private emptiers and issue them license to operate
 Buy more vacuum trucks, if there is a shortfall
 Identify 2-3 suitable disposal sites (so that the distance traveled by the trucks is optimized). The land
could be taken on lease, private parties can be encouraged to develop business around treated faecal
sludge.
 Develop DPRs for FSTPs (faecal sludge treatment plants) at these identified disposal sites
Medium term goals

 Demarcate land for STPs/FSTPs in the master plan
 Enforce scheduled desludging
 Improve bylaws, to enforce proper design of septic tanks
 Implement decentralized waste water treatment systems at several locations to treat supernatant and grey
water and encourage reuse of treated waste water

6.1 Sewerage management

This Municipality is not having comprehensive sewerage system. As per the 2005 population , 24 MLD of
sewage is being generated. The house holds are having their own septic tanks and over flows pipes are
connected to SWD system or Open fields.
Bhimavaram has generallly flat terrrain. In absence of sewerage network, the wastewater is discharged into
nearby road side drains which ultimately joins the major drains passing though the town. There are three
major drains namely Yanamaduru Drain, Gunupudi South Drain and Rayalam Drain. Besides these, there are
some minor drains namely Miramiya Kodu Drain & Old Y Drain, both are sub-drains of Yanamaduru Drain.
Yanamaduru’s drain ultimately joins the Bay of Bengal and is the major carrier drain for Bhimavaram.
Broadly, the town can be divided into three zones:
1. Zone I : On Western side of Yanamaduru Drain.
2. Zone II : Bounded by Yanamaduru Drain, Railway line and GNV Canal
3. Zone III : Bounded by GNV canal and Gunupudi South Drain.
The zones are depicted in figure below. The zoning is primarily based on the references
provided in available 4detailed project report and desktop analysis.
Figure 13 Sewerage Zones in Bhimavaram

57 | P a g e
 Gaps & Issues

1. There is no organized Sewage/Septage collection and Treatment system.
2. Desludging from septic tanks is unorganized and generally more than the design period. Due to this the
effluent coming out of tank is highly contaminated and targeted BOD/TSS removal within septic tank is
not getting achieved.
3. Sullage and effluent from septic tank is discharged in open drains and remains untreated. This is
resulting in unhygienic conditions. Moreover, it is detrimental to environment and natural water
bodies.
4. Sludge collected from septic tanks is dumped indiscreetly at many places. This not only endangered the
surrounding environment but pose a serious threat to quality of ground water.
5. Part of population (2.7%) is deprived of the sanitation system.
Figure 14 proposed Location for STP
58 | P a g e
STP’s Maintained by Private bodies:-
There are five Septic tank private bodies within the city limits to handle and dispose the septic tanks and
one from the outside the city limits
Surya Septic Tank

Vamsi Septic tank
Pandu Septic TANK
Visakha Septic tank

Main issues of Sewerage management:
1. Underground drainage system is not available in the municipality. Under Detailed

Project Report prepared for the Amrut scheme the projected demand of STP is 24.13
MLD.
2. Underground drainage system is yet to be implemented.
7.2 Septage management
 Baseline status
This Municipality is not having Septage Management system. Only individual reputations are existing
and being maintained by them
 Gaps & Issues

This section will identify gaps and issues related to Septage Management:
- Septic Tanks –At present there is no systematic and organized to collect, transport and treat waste
from the septic tanks, the duration of cleaning of septic cleaning is as per the necessity and
affordability of the public .the over flows of the septic tanks are being either let out in to near by
drains or open fields.
- Septage collection & conveyance – Herein the ULB identifies gaps & issues with respect to emptying
(from septic tanks)& transportation of septage. The issues may include
59 | P a g e
o lack of data on private operators involved in desludging & transportation of septage,

o the private operators are not authorized and not regulated,
o desludging of septic tanks is not carried out regularly (once in every 2-3 years),
o desludging service is inadequate to meet existing / future demand,
o poor complaint redressal system and absence of operational,
o -health & safety standards for septage collection & conveyance. ULBs also need to identify no.
of manual scavengers in the city and reason for engaging into manual scavenging.
- Septage treatment & disposal / Reuse – Herein the ULB identifies gaps & issues with respect to
septage treatment and its safe disposal. The issues may include
o absence of septage treatment facility,
o ill effects due to disposal of untreated septage
o improper reuse of untreated septage.
60 | P a g e
7. Solid waste management
7.1 Baseline status
Solid Waste Management is also the responsibility of the Municipality. According to an estimate done by the
Municipality on an average about 56.31 MT of solid waste is generated in the town in each day which is
disposed off by the Municipality. The major sources of solid waste generation in the town are domestic
waste, commercial establishments, markets, hotels and restaurants, etc. A majority of the households use
garbage bins for the disposal of the domestic waste. In some of the slum areas the domestic waste is being
dumped on the streets, open spaces, and vacant places thereby creating unhygienic conditions in the
neighborhood.
While Door-to-door collection and source segregation efforts (through twin bin system i.e.,
storage of biodegradable waste & non-biodegradable wastes separately in green and red colored bins
respectively) was initiated The garbage from the
streets and the market places are collected in Push
Carts, Tata ace, Auto trolleys, Tractors with the help
of contract and permanent Public Health Workers.
and transported to certain internal collection points.
Figure 15 Solid Wastes Segregation at Household level
7.2 p
Figure 16 Segregated
s Solid wastes have taken to compost yards
in different mode of transports
61 | P a g e
Gaps & Issues

- At present there is no Compost Yard. Allotted 14 Acres Compost Yard is under pending dispute in -
Hon’ble Supreme Court, Delhi. Door to Door collection is implemented in all wards with 90 % coverage.
The waste collected is being segregated and transported to the dump site.
- The current practices of SWM are inadequate and in urgent need of systemic improvement. In
this regard, the step to prepare Detailed Project Report to address the requirements in a holistic
manner is a welcome step, but needs to be reviewed in the context of modern practices including bin-
less door-to-door approaches and scope for private participation.
- Solid waste generation –the major challenge facing by the city is dumping of solid wastes into the open
drains and unabated encroachments into the storm water drains. The city immediately needs a compost
yard to meet the need of present and future demand.
Solid wastes dumped along canal side due to no composte yard

- Conveyance (Transportation) to Treatment facility –
In Bhimavaram Municipality Solid Waste Management 2000 rules have been
implemented strictly. Bhimavaram Town is divided into 39 wards and 7 sanitary divisions.
Public health department in the bhimavaram municipality has a man power of 7 sanitary
inspectors, 4 health assistants,10 sanitary maistries,11 driver,168 public health
workers,274 contract workers and 20 contract drivers.
Collection of solid wastes:-
There a total of 16 no.of tractors,13 auto-rikshaws and 75 pushcarts engaging daily in the
door-to-door collection of the solid wastes. Bhimavaram city has achieved the goal of
100% door-to-door solid waste collection and actions are taken to achieve to implement
the segregation of the solid waste which is the next objective of the action plan.
- Processing (Treatment) of Solid wastes –
o improper processing of biodegradable,
o non-biodegradable & hazardous waste,
o Inadequacy of treatment facility etc.
- Disposal of Solid wastes–Bhimavaram Municipality does not have any composite yard to
dispose the solid wastes collected from the individuals.
o lack of scientific landfill facility,
o Non-conformity to solid waste management rules and ill effects (along with
location) of open dumping of solid waste.
Main issues of Solid Waste Management:
- Bhimavaram Municipality does not have any compost yard which is alarming issue in
collection and disposing of the solid wastes collected in the town.
- Capacity building training is needed at institutional and individual level.
- Solid waste management (or the lack thereof) has a direct bearing on the effectiveness of
existing drainage systems in any town as also on the overall sanitary conditions and the
potential for providing breeding grounds for vectors that have a bearing on human health
and the environment in general.
- The current practices of SWM are inadequate and in urgent need of systemic
improvement. In this regard, the step to prepare Detailed Project Report to address the
requirements in a holistic manner is a welcome step, but needs to be reviewed in the
context of modern practices including bin-less door-to-door approaches and scope for
private participation.
8. Storm water management
Bhimavaram Municipality Page 75

8.1 Baseline status
Collection and conveyance
The key issues and constraints with respect to the storm drain network are summarized below:
1. Open drains are not lined at all places
2. Drains are poorly maintained. Dumping of solid waste in some of the drains are
chocking/blockages is prevalent
3. There is improper provision for water flow and there is stagnation of water at many places.

10. Institutional & Governance
10.1 Baseline status
Bhimavaram Municipality, like other urban local bodies in Andhra Pradesh, is primarily responsible for
providing basic infrastructure services and other civic services within its jurisdiction. The municipality is
responsible for the following functions:
 Construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, causeways and culverts
 Construction and maintenance of storm water and sullage water drains
 Supply of protected water
 Cleaning of streets, drains, removal of rubbish and scavenging
 Lighting of public streets
 Maintenance of burial grounds

In addition, to this municipality implements a number of plan and non-plan schemes, funds for which are
received from state and central governments. They include
 MEPMA
 APMDP
 Individual House Hold Toilets (IHHT)
 Housing for all and AMRUTH
The functional domain of the Bhimavaram Municipality, as with other urban local bodies in the state,
was expanded in 1994, when the Andhra Pradesh Municipalities Act was amended incorporating the
functions included in the 12th Schedule of the 74th Constitution Amendment Act. In Andhra Pradesh, the
Municipalities Act provides for a majority of the functions listed in the 12th Schedule of the Constitution.
They include:
 Urban Planning including Town Planning
 Regulation of land use and construction of buildings

 Roads and bridges
 Water supply for domestic, industrial and commercial purposes
 Public health, sanitation, conservancy and solid waste management
 Slum improvement and upgrade.
 Provision of urban amenities and facilities such as parks, gardens, play grounds

 Cattle ponds; prevention of cruelty to animals
 Vital statistics including registration of births and death
 Public amenities including street lighting, parking lots, bus stops and public conveniences.
 Regulation of slaughter houses and tanneries
In 2004, the Government of Andhra Pradesh after a review of functions of urban local bodies,
transferred five more functions to the urban local bodies through government orders. They are:
a. Planning for economic and social development
b. Urban forestry, protection of the environment and promotion of ecological aspects
c. Urban Poverty alleviation
d. Safeguarding the interest of weaker sections including the handicapped and mentally
retarded
e. Promotion of cultural and aesthetic aspects.
The Government decided that the remaining function i.e. Fire Services, should continue to remain with the
state government and will be transferred after a review later. Though the five functions were transferred,
they have no statutory basis as they were transferred through government orders.
Organisation structure:
The organizational structure of Bhimavaram Municipality consists of an elected body – the Municipal
Council - and an executive body. The elected body is headed by a Chairperson and has 39 Ward
Members each representing a ward - one of the 39 wards into which the town is divided. The
Chairperson is elected directly by all the elected ward members of the town. Based on the 74th
Constitution Amendment Act, 1992, the constitution and composition of the urban local bodies in the
state was changed. All the mandatory provisions like reservations to SCs and STs, fixed tenure to the
local body, constitution of State Election Commission with responsibility to hold elections to the local

bodies in the state, etc., have been incorporated in the Act. After 1995, elections to the urban local
bodies were conducted thrice based on these amended provisions.
The civic administration is headed by Municipal Commissioner belonging to the cadre of state
municipal commissioners. The Commissioner is assisted by officials in the areas of public health,
engineering, town planning, health, poverty, etc. Technical officials head each of these areas and in
administration, the Manager assists the Commissioner.

6 Action Plan for Bhimavaram Municipality:-
Action Plan for City Sanitation Plan is Strategy or a process for to address the present and future need of the
citywide sanitation. Action plan address both technical and non-technical aspects of the CSP, services, vision
and goals of a municipality. Specific action plans are designed across the five plan components (access to
toilets, wastewater management, river pollution and storm water management, water supply, solid waste
management), and major strategic support components (governance and institutional frame work and
financial sustainability). These action plans are packaged around five pillars of intervention.

Door to Door Segregation:-
One of the most pressing issue in Bhimavaram Town today is Solid waste management. According
to an estimate done by the Municipality on an average about 56.31 MT of solid waste is generated
in the town in each day which is disposed by the Municipality. The major sources of solid waste
generation in the town are domestic waste, commercial establishments, markets, hotels and
restaurants, etc. A majority of the households use garbage bins for the disposal of the domestic
waste.The Training Program is conducted for two stakeholders; they are waste generators and
waste managers from Bhimavaram Municipality. The Waste managers include Public health
workers, Municipal Staff and council members. The Waste generators include individual
householders and commercial business. The training program for the waste managers is ongoing
and include the training in segregating and disposing the organic and inorganic waste.
Figure 17 Training program for Municipal Employees on Solid waste segregation
A separate meeting has been held for the hotels & Restaurant Owners on the issues of solid waste
segregation and organic waste composter. Bhimavaram Municipality is working hard to enlighten
the hotel & Restaurant owners to compost the organic waste on their own backyard by the using
the techniques like organic waste composter. A training program has been held to explain the
process and steps involved in composting the organic wastes generated.

that it did not have any compost yard. Waste to Energy plant has been proposed to address this
problem under which all the waste generated in the premises of Bhimavaram municipality will be
transported to the plant.
