The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) has launched tenders to supply tertiary treated water to Peenya Industrial Area, Asia's largest industrial zone. BWSSB will provide 4 million litres per day (MLD) of treated water from Nagasandra Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). Although the STP output meets National Green Tribunal standards, BWSSB will build a new tertiary treatment plant to make the water "ultra pure". This will increase user acceptance and shelf life, said BWSSB Chairman V. Ram Prasath Manohar. The board has already tested a pilot tertiary plant with 70 KLD capacity at Kadubeesanahalli STP and will now deploy the same technology at Nagasandra STP. The new plant will be established through a Public Private Partnership. "Once we get that, it can be operationalised in three to four months time," said Mr. Manohar. BWSSB will also spend about ₹27 crore to lay a 27 km distribution pipeline between Nagasandra STP and Peenya industries. They will build a Sump-cum-Pump House and a 5 lakh litre overhead tank. This setup will create a dual piping system to supply treated water strictly for non-potable uses, preventing any mixing with drinking water. This is a first-of-its-kind project in Bengaluru. Chairman Manohar stated, "We are working with the motto ‘Cauvery for Homes, Ultra Pure Treated Water for Industries’. We are willing to partner with other industrial hubs as well to provide ultra pure treated water."
