Abstract :
In this study, the status of sewage systems and treatment plants in Elazig city was investigated. There are 10 townships and 15 villages in Elazig city. The sewage system is combined sewage system in the city center and 95% of the population has access to sewage system. While 75% of the total township population (except city center) has sewage systems, 5 of the villages do not have sewage system. Constructions of sewage systems and treatment plants continue in townships and villages. Environmental problems arise in the places which do not have full sewage system and treatment plant. This situation causes health problems in terms of human and adversely effects all ecosystem unless taking cautions. Therefore substructure system must be all over strength in the places which the sewage system do not exist in Elazig city and deficiencies must also be supplied as soon as possible. As a result, it is estimated that all sewage system will be completed until the end of year 2017 in Elazig city and treatment plants in all townships and villages will be run.
