Why Permit Effluents to Escape the Battery Limits of Owners?

It is very agonising to observe that sewerage & waste water generated with in ownership area of Owners (Colony/ ULB) and industrial effluents generated by Industries or Industry clusters are allowed to let the liquids flow out of their ownership battery limits so that they don't have to bear the costs of processing but it does not change the macro-environmental reality and increases the costs and burden of the recipient.

For small Institutional Owners, Govt. implements ZLD policy strictly but why the same is not implemented on Industry clusters, ULBs, SPCBs, Districts and States?
