As the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) works on alternative water sources to tackle water shortages, non-potable water from sewage treatment plants remains the primary hope for reducing dependence on potable water. However, developing a separate and parallel supply network will be a significant challenge. The city faces regular water cuts, and demand is rising. To address this, the BMC is upgrading seven sewage treatment plants with a budget of R27,310 crore, aiming to treat 2,464 million litres of sewage daily. After tertiary treatment, 1,200 million litres of water will be available.
