There is a rising shift towards the use of water resources efficiently, both in cities and countryside. The expanding populace has brought about numerous issues, the most significant being creating sewage and its re-use. This research work was performed to determine the contaminations level in final treated water from two sewage treatment plants (STP) present at Rail Coach Factory (Punjab) and compare with BIS guidelines. Process used for removal of contaminants by STP1 and STP2 was activated sludge and clarification water treatment using sludge thickener, respectively. Evaluation of sewage water characteristics was done by measuring chemical characteristics of the treated water. An assessment was performed for the performance of both treatment plants. Although, both the plants produced the approximately similar quality of treated water and comply with Indian Standards, but the plant with activated sludge process performed better than the clarification water treatment process by reducing per cent of total solids and BOD of treated water in a better way. In this study, it’s found that treated water should be more environment friendly and it needs advance treatment for reuse as secondary purposes.
