The Lahore Wastewater and Drainage Management Project (LWWDMP), centered on constructing a 32.37 km trenchless micro-tunnelling trunk sewer line from Larechs Colony to Gulshan-e-Ravi, has entered a critical procurement phase. A transparent technical tender opening ceremony was held at WASA Lahore, attracting four international joint ventures including China Road and Bridge Corporation and China Railway Tunnel Group. The project—funded by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) at PKR 49 billion—is under active review by Punjab’s Planning & Development Board and LG/UD, with recent high-level meetings in June and August 2025 confirming accelerated execution timelines and integration with the new Babu Sabu Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The Lahore Railway Employees Cooperative Housing Society (LARECHS) has officially announced its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 2026, confirming continued governance operations and institutional stability. This announcement appears alongside major civic infrastructure developments in the colony, reinforcing LARECHS Colony’s dual role as both a residential cooperative community and a strategic node in Lahore’s citywide wastewater modernization plan—including its designation as the northern origin point for the new trunk sewer system.

The Larechs Colony–Gulshan-e-Ravi sewerage conveyance system is formally integrated as an associated facility of the Babu Sabu Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), now in its preparatory and design phase. Funded jointly by the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the integrated project aims to treat up to 848 cusecs of wastewater for 2.35 million residents. An Environmental and Social Due Diligence Report (ESDDR) confirms alignment with international safeguards, land acquisition status, and phased implementation plans linking Larechs-sourced flows directly to Babu Sabu’s CAS-based treatment infrastructure.
