Mumbai awarded the planning of India’s largest water reuse plan to B&V

According to a news reported by WaterWorld, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai has awarded consultancy firm Black & Veatch a contract to study what is being considered India’s largest recycled water masterplan: MCGM’s plans to maximise the use of tertiary treated effluent over the next 50 years in order to offset fresh water demand and alleviate the anticipated deficit in water supplies.
In view of new discharge standards by the Central Pollution Control Board, MCGM is planning to include tertiary treatment for a portion of the flow, and recycle the tertiary treated effluent for non‐potable reuse.
Currently, Mumbai’s sewerage system consists of approximately 1,900 km of sewer network, 51 pumping stations and seven wastewater treatment plants, and the Strategic Recycled Water Master Plan will outline the framework for reuse of tertiary treated effluent from all seven of Mumbai’s WWTPs and serve as a guiding document to build infrastructure for recycled water in a phased manner.
