Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) has decided to set up 44 sewerage treatment plants (STPs) along the Musi river and supply treated water to industries, construction companies and others at cheaper rates. The water board will lay separate pipelines for the industries in order tominimise its burden. The board officials have also claimed that this move would also increase the groundwater levels.
According to a board official, the HMWS&SB will set up STPs mostly on the peripheral circles as most of the industrial areas are located on the city outskirts. Keeping in view of depleting water levels in the city, the water board has also decided to set up 44 minor STPs at various areas in additionto the five major STPs being set up at Amberpet, Nagole, Nallacheruvu, Attapur and Ziaguda.
The HMWS&SB has decided to divert the treated water into rainwater harvesting pits which would be constructed jointly by the local residents and the water board. Speaking to The Hans India, the water board official said the move would minimise water crisis as the HMWS&SB has been supplying huge amounts of drinking water to most of these industries. He said the plan would also generate revenue for the HMWS&SB.
At present, the board has been making use of 690 MLD water and the remaining 810 MLD would be put to use after constructing the additional 44 minor STPs at various areas in the city, the official said. “We have prepared a detailed project report to reuse the treated sewage water and it has been sent to the government for its approval,” he added.
