Background When buying the flat, I asked the builder about sewage management. The property is on the city outskirts, right across from a river, with no municipal drainage. Wanting to avoid contributing to river pollution, I pressed for details, but the builder’s response was vague. Apparently, the local municipality had insisted on treating sewage within the campus. Eventually, the builder made some clever moves and tricked the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) into paying for the plant. By the time I discovered the association existed and had funded the facility, it was too late. Seeing how things were handled, I decided to take over the RWA and manage operations myself How the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) Works Here is a brief look at the design: Collection: Wastewater from toilets, kitchens, and greywater drains into two underground tanks before being pumped into the STP.

The act pertaining to tenancy states that the deposit cannot be more than three months of rent.  This is not followed by most owners, but tenants agree to pay a higher security deposit.  The demand overrides the government regulation.  This implies that neither the owners nor the tenants take the act seriously.
