In a bid to strengthen its long-term project to undertake sewage recycling, and supply recycled water for non-potable use, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to lay down a separate pipeline.

A proposal to lay a 850-metre-long pipeline between Banganag sewage treatment plant and Raj Bhavan will be brought up at the BMC Standing Committee meeting on Wednesday for approval.

According to a civic official, the sewage treatment plant at Banganga will supply recycled water to the garden at Raj Bhavan, Kamala Nehru Park and Priyadarshini Park.

In 2012-2013, the civic body had planned to supply recycled water, and even built a sewage treatment plant at its pumping station in Banganga for the purpose. The proposal of Rs 79.85 lakh for laying the pipeline states that it will be completed in four months. However, the proposal will need to be approved by the BMC Standing Committee, and later by the general body.

In order to meet the rising demand for water in the future, the BMC plans to supply treated water to industries, government agencies and households for non-potable purposes. The civic body has already appointed a consultant to prepare a detail plan.
