Gilgit will launch its inaugural sewerage and sanitation project, marking a major step toward environmental conservation and public health improvement. The project, scheduled for completion by the end of 2025, will serve nearly 500,000 residents.

Former Chief Minister Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman, pivotal in the project’s inception during his tenure with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in 2015, highlighted Gilgit’s struggle with inadequate infrastructure. “The city’s lack of sewerage not only detracted from its beauty but endangered public health with polluted water sources,” he stated.

The initiative will extend from Baseen to Bab-e-Gilgit and Tablighi Markaz to Nagar Colony Konodas. Local enthusiasm is high, with residents like Amin Khan expressing optimism for a cleaner, healthier future due to improved infrastructure.

Project Director Shafqat Ali, who led the project, emphasized its long-term benefits. “This comprehensive approach will enhance both environmental safety and public health by providing clean drinking water,” Ali noted.

Initial concerns about pipeline adequacy surfaced on social media. However, Ali confirmed the design’s capacity to meet future demands. The project will include a 209 km sewer pipeline network, ranging from 8 to 40 inches in diameter, culminating in a Mechanical Sewage Treatment Plant with a 4 MGPD capacity. This setup will treat and repurpose the sewage.
