The venture has finished a water treatment office with a limit of treating 85-million-liter of water each day in Sundarijal while another is approaching culmination. The treated water will at that point course through a 1400-mm-distance across pipeline to 10 stockpiling supplies around the Valley. Be that as it may, the water gathered in the passage isn't directed to the treatment office however redirected to the Bagmati River.

 As per the MWSP, it would require around fourteen days to flush out the water gathered in the passage.

Water would be sent consistently to the passage solely after finishing the cycle. Prior, the undertaking had started to fill the passage with water in July 2020.

The absolute interest for water in that year was 325-million-liter each day (MLD) which is relied upon to reach around 500 MLD in 2022. The public authority at that point intended to add extra 340 MLD from the Yangri and Larke waterways to the passage by 2022 to satisfy the developing need hor the second and third periods of the MWSP are yet to start.
