South Mumbai to get more non potable water
Good news for the residents of South Mumbai! The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has recently planned to set up a new sewage treatment plant at its sewage pumping station near Hanging Gardens, Malabar Hill.
With the set up of the new plant, residents of Malabar Hill and Girgaum in Mumbai city will have three million litres of non-potable water daily for washing and cleaning purpose.
As per report, the plant will be operational by next four to five months and the work is still underway. Water from this plant can be used for non-potable purposes and will help save drinking water.
A private organisation has been given the responsibility of setting up and maintaining the treatment plant. An estimated cost of Rs 11.14 crore for a period of 15 years has been allotted. The company has set up sewage water treatment plants at College of Military Engineering in Pune and Central PWD Colony in Belarpur.
These plants are being developed as the civic body has not developed any other source of water and with increasing population, demand for drinking water is also increasing.
Also, small-capacity sewage treatment plants will be set up in various satellite sewage pumping stations across the city and the recycled water can be used for non-potable purposes in neighbouring areas.
