The civic body appointed a consultant in 2017 to suggest short-term and long-term measures for the improvement of Mithi River water quality. After carrying out a study, the consultant proposed short-term works and long-term works in four different packages: short-term (Package-1) and long-term (Package-2, 3, and 4) to divert sewage flow of about 285 MLD discharging into the Mithi River to the municipal sewer system. While Package 1 was completed, work on Package-2 and 4 is in progress.

While Package II (from WSSD garage to CST Bridge) works, which are located in the non-tidal influence zone, include 8 km length of sewer line along and nearby Mithi River and 102 minor interceptors to divert dry weather flow from minor nullahs to the municipal sewer network system.
