Brick sewer to solve Kolkata waterlogging woes

India’s first and the world’s third-oldest brick sewer line is set to undergo a major revamp. The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) has taken up an upgrade project of the Town Outfall brick sewer, which will take care of the waterlogging woes in major areas in north and central Kolkata and large parts of south Kolkata. The 150-year-old sewer will be refurbished to drain out storm water from 30 KMC wards, bringing relief to over 10 lakh people.
