Regular maintenance of WTPs and STPs ensures safe drinking water and a clean environment by preventing breakdowns, risks, and non-compliance. Proper training, record-keeping, and condition-based monitoring improve reliability, reduce costs, and improve sustainable development.
Water treatment plants (WTPs) and Sewage treatment plants (STPs) are essential components of urban infrastructure that provide safe and clean water for human consumption and efficient disposal of wastewater. These plants require regular maintenance and upkeep to ensure efficient and effective operation, prevent equipment failure and reduce the risk of environmental contamination. Maintenance activities include routine inspections, cleaning, repair, and replacement of equipment. Regular maintenance helps to extend equipment lifespan, minimize energy costs and prevent unscheduled downtime that can lead to loss of service. Given the critical role these facilities play in public health and safety, it is imperative that all stakeholders including plant operators, regulators, and engineers work together to ensure they operate optimally. This paper discusses the importance of regular WTP and STP maintenance and strategies for ensuring optimal plant performance.
