There are several challenges that apartments in Bangalore face with regards to their Sewage Treatment Plants. Some of the biggest challenges include:
- Lack of expertise: Many apartments do not have the necessary expertise to properly design, install, operate, and maintain an STP. This can lead to poor performance, breakdowns, and non-compliance with regulations.
- L ack of maintenance: Many apartments do not have the resources and equipment to perform regular maintenance and repairs on the STP. This can lead to poor performance, breakdowns, and non-compliance with regulations.
- Non-compliance with regulations: Many apartments do not have the knowledge to comply with all the regulations and laws related to the STP. This can lead to penalties and fines.
- Limited access to water: With water scarcity becoming a significant problem in Bangalore, many apartments are facing difficulty in ensuring a consistent water supply for their STP operations.
- Lack of proper monitoring: Many apartments do not have the capability to continuously monitor the functioning of the STP, detect any issues and troubleshoot them in a timely manner.
- Unskilled or unqualified vendors: Many apartments hire unprofessional or unqualified vendors to operate and maintain the STP, which can lead to poor performance, breakdowns, and non-compliance with regulations.
- Limited budgets: Many apartments do not have enough budget for the proper operation and maintenance of their STPs. This can lead to cutting costs on important aspects such as regular maintenance, repairs, and upgrades, which can further lead to poor performance, breakdowns, and non-compliance with regulations.
- Limited understanding of the importance of STP: Many apartment association do not understand the importance of STP and how it affects the environment and the community they live in.
