Environmental sanitation is of very important concern in the process of development of a country. Discharge of untreated sewage water is common a practice in many countries. This is common cause of pollution of surface and groundwater because of large gap between generation and treatment of wastewater. This paper helps in evaluate the overall performance of the Sewage Treatment Plant, UASB reactor and facultative pond.

board. BOD, COD, MPN, nutrients in the treated effluent were 21.51 mg/l, 42.33 mg/l, 11.84 log units, 9.64 mg/l respectively. BOD, COD, pathogen, nutrients removal efficiency of the STP is 81.08%, 83.6%, 98.86% and 51.73% respectively.1
