The CDMA is the final authority in the selection of the independent engineer. Now, the State has decided to move towards the status of ODF+, which includes waste water management and treatment of faecal sludge and septage. To ensure that the FSTPs are developed in accordance with rules and construction requirements set out in CA, the CDMA will select the independent engineer through an open competitive bidding process. FSTP is the collection, transport, and treatment of faecal sludge from septic tanks or other onsite sanitation systems..
