BMC to Supply Treated Sewage Water to Cricket Club of India
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai is going to give treated water from its Colaba Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) to the Cricket Club of India (CCI).
This is the first time the BMC is giving treated water to a private group.
The CCI will use this water to take care of their grounds and lawns.
The BMC and CCI have a three-year agreement for this.
The BMC will charge a small fee for the water and expects to make Rs 16 lakh each year from this.
Right now, Mumbai treats a lot of sewage but only recycles a small part of it.
The BMC is also planning to upgrade the Colaba STP to make the recycled water safe to drink in the future.
BMC will supply treated sewage water to CCI for ground and lawn maintenance under a three-year agreement.
CCI will receive 100 kilolitres of treated water daily, except during the monsoon season.
BMC will charge Rs 21 per kilolitre and aims to generate Rs 16 lakh annually from this supply.
Currently, Mumbai treats 2,190 MLD of sewage daily but only recycles 22.65 MLD for non-potable use.
BMC plans to upgrade the Colaba STP to an Advanced Treatment Plant to make recycled water fit for human consumption.
